Opis: Smoke Abatement - Nicholson William

Excerpt from Smoke Abatement: A Manual for the Use of Manufacturers, Inspectors, Medical Officers of Health, Engineers, and Others

In preparing the present volume it has been the object of the author to give, as concisely as possible, an account of the smoke abatement movement, and to indicate the means by which the smoke nuisance may be combated, and, it is to be hoped, finally overcome.

The present age is essentially one of industrial growth and expansion; it is also one in which there may be detected the gradual awakening of a national conscience in regard to questions of hygiene and to all that concerns the well-being of the community. This being so, no excuse is needed for calling attention to the serious harm which results from the unrestricted emission of smoke, and it has been the aim of the author to show that, so far from its being a necessary evil, it is one that is easily remediable, and for the removal of which adequate legal machinery actually exists. The emission of smoke is unsound both economically and hygienically; economically, inasmuch as it involves a direct waste of valuable fuel, and hygienically, as it is a direct cause of lowered vitality in those compelled to breathe the vitiated atmosphere, and hence increases their susceptibility to infectious disease.
