Soot enough to cover Hyde Park to a depth of 10 inches falls in London in one year; yet London, is not Britain’s smokiest city. Approximately two and a-half million tons of soot, it is calculated, escapes annually into the atmosphere from domestic fireplaces, and half a million tons from industrial chimneys. It is impossible to estimate the loss the smoke nuisance means, but in Manchester it makes the cost of household washing, for instance, over; £290,000 a year. If two million people travelling into London are held up for one hour by fog, of which soot is a main ingredient, the loss of working time is estimated to be £150,000. The Office of Works spends £1,750,000 a year in looking after Government buildings, royal palaces and Houses of Parliament, but of that large sum 30 or 40 pep cent, would be saved were the atmosphere acid-free and smokfless. Altogether it is safe to say that the smoke menace I costs the country £40,000,000 a year in waste and damage. Luckily the increasing cse of electricity and gas has greatly the nuisance, and in London cV vJng the last 15 years the fall of soot AMs been reduced by a half.
