Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Smoke Problem of Great Cities Much of the work which is represented by the pages of this volume has been done with a view to successive reports of a Committee for the Investigation of Atmospheric Pollution, appointed in 1912 in order to give effect to the wishes of a conference held in London in connection with a smoke-abatement exhibition in that year. The committee was purely voluntary; originally it relied to a considerable extent upon the good offices of the Lancet, which had not only facilities in regard to publication but also a laboratory which was then in charge of the late Mr. S. A. Vasey, himself a member of the committee. He was very helpful in finding a way through the difficult questions of the chemical analysis of the large bottles of dirty water which represented a month's material for investigation. The other active members of the committee were Dr. Des Voeux, treasurer of the Coal Smoke Abatement Society, Mr. J. G. Clarke, F.C.S., Dr. R. Lessing, F.C.S., all of London, Mr. J. B. C. Kershaw, of Manchester, and Bailie W. Smith, of Glasgow. Some of these names were already well-known, and have now become still better known, in connection with the smoke problem of great cities, but the question referred to the committee was limited to the investigation of the amount and nature of atmospheric pollution "for its own sake," to adopt a phrase that, by long use, has acquired a sort of scientific implication. The reader must therefore exonerate our colleagues on the committee from responsibility for anything outside the limits of purely scientific inquiry which may be found in these pages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Destruction of Daylight: A Study in the Smoke Problem The book was ready for the printer before the claims of Coalite were brought before the public. It receives such mention as is at present safe, and we can only earnestly hope that it may work the revolution anticipated. These pages will be found to contain frequent references to Ruskin's works. But this is appropriate, seeing that they have been written at the request, and under the auspices, of the Guild of S. George, founded by Ruskin, as readers of Fore know, in 1871.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Smoke Problem at Boiler Plants: A Preliminary Report The prevention of objectionable smoke in the manufacturing and business centers of large cities is a problem that can not be easily solved. At present no city in which a considerable quantity of bituminous coal is burned is free from smoke. The cities of the East have avoided this problem by a general use of the smaller sizes of anthracite coal. For this reason it is not surprising that the greatest improvement in the methods of burning bituminous coal has been made in the Central and Western States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Smoke Nuisance The second pamphlet issued by the American Civic Association after its organization in 1904 was one dealing with the smoke nuisance prepared by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., of Brookline, Massachusetts. It has had a wide circulation and has proved a most useful statement of fundamental principles. A number of editions have been called for. Since its publication, however, there has been a very great and encouraging development of public sentiment in the question and a corresponding demand for information and concrete suggestions. This present pamphlet is intended to meet that need. As R. C. Harris, Property Commissioner of Toronto, said, "I believe that an interchange of ideas, and a tendency toward uniform legislation, will greatly assist in the remedy of this public nuisance." The present pamphlet is intended to provide this interchange of ideas and to promote a tendency towards uniform legislation, and generally to create an intelligent public opinion on the smoke nuisance and to indicate measures of effective remedy. The pamphlet contains Mr. Olmsted's original leaflet brought up to date, with references to the recent statutes and ordinances. It also contains the helpful paper of Mr. George W. Welden, of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, on "The Smoke Nuisance on Railroad Locomotives," which paper was read at the Providence meeting of the American Civic Association in November, 1907; also the larger part of Paul M. Chamberlain's paper on "Boiler Room Economy," delivered before the Milwaukee meeting of the International Association for the Abatement of the Smoke Nuisance. Members of the Association and others interested in this work will find the recent pamphlet prepared by D. T. Randall, issued by the Federal Government through the Geological Survey, and the pamphlet by Prof. L. P. Breckenridge, on "How to Burn Soft Coal Without Smoke," issued by the University of Illinois, extremely useful documents. "The Smoke Nuisance and the Law," in the present edition, brings the legal phase up to 1911. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smoke: A Study of Town Air The subject Of the emission of coal smoke from chimneys is one which has for many years past forced itself with increasing prominence upon the notice of those residing in the larger towns. It is admittedly its aesthetic rather than its economic aspect which has appealed, in the first instance, to popular sentiment. Blackened buildings, darkened skies, and the general air of dirt and gloom which are typical of an English industrial centre have aroused a growing feeling of dissatisfaction among a certain section of the community, and have led to the formation here and there of societies for the prevention of smoke. Some of these societies have pursued their object with praiseworthy energy. By means of pamphlets, public addresses, conferences and exhibitions of smoke-preventing appliances they have sought to enlist public sympathy. They have pointed to the loss of fuel which coal smoke entails, to the physical deteriora tion and lo'wered vitality of the inhabitants of towns caused by inhaling a contaminated atmosphere, to the loss of daylight, and to the destruction of vegetation. It is a remarkable fact, nevertheless, that in face of the active propaganda of these societies, and a very widespread sympathy with their aims, as well as the existence of certain repressive legislative measures directed against the smoke of factories, placed in the hands of the local authority, the emission of smoke continues with almost unabated vigour from both house and factory chimneys.

This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smoke Abatement and City Smoke Ordinances Almost from the inception of the fuel-testing work begun by the Government in 1904 the determination of ways and means for smoke lessly burning fuels from different sections Of the United States has been deemed of great importance by the officials in charge of the work. The results of some Of the investigations along this line have been published as bulletins of the United States Geological Survey and of the Bureau Of Mines. The large demand for these bulletins has indicated that the subject is Of much interest to the public. Since the fuel-testing investigations were begun in 1904, and in some measure because of them, a marked improvement has been made in the smokeless burning of many fuels, and particularly in the burn ing of bituminous coal. This advance has resulted partly from a desire to improve general power-plant economy, but more largely from a public demand for less smoke. Unfortunately, many of those who have been working on the problem of smoke prevention, or smoke abatement, have not had a thorough understanding Of the basic prin ciples involved, and consequently much effort has been misdirected. Even today smoke prevention means to a large number of persons the application of some special device, some smoke consumer, which, if placed in the stack or in the smoke passages, will in some way consume the smoke.
