HC Deb 23 February 1944 vol 397 c849W
Major Markham

asked the Lord President of the Council if there has been any recent chemical analysis of the air during a foggy day in Glasgow and Edinburgh; and, if not, will he cause such an analysis to be made.

Mr. Attlee

Regular observations of the sulphur content of the air and of impurity deposited from the atmosphere are made by the civic authorities at Edinburgh and Glasgow by methods recommended by the Atmospheric Pollution Research Committee of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. In addition, measurements of suspended impurity are made at Glasgow.
