Synopsis
Written in the early 20th century, this book delves into the severe and ever-worsening problem of air pollution in England during a time of rapid industrialization. When writing this book, the author was motivated by a sense of urgency and an aim to draw immediate action to the issue of air pollution. The author claims that smoke is destructive to England's natural beauty, detrimental to the health and happiness of its people, and damaging to its economy. This book provides evidence that though smoke and fog go hand in hand, it is smoke that is the main culprit for the pea-soup fogs that plague cities like London. Additionally, the author discusses in detail the negative effects that smoke has on human health, hygiene, architecture, and more. The author concludes by suggesting that the smoke problem is one for all of society to solve, not just the duty of manufacturers.
