It is based on the observation that while smoke was once considered a necessary evil of urban life, it later became recognized as a pollutant with serious effects on human health, buildings, and vegetation. Drawing on data collected in the heavily industrialized city of Leeds, England, the author examines the chemical composition of smoke and soot, as well as their impact on public health and the environment. The author also discusses the effectiveness of various smoke abatement strategies. Through its rich data and insights, this book makes a compelling case for tackling smoke pollution to improve the quality of urban life and protect the health of city dwellers.
