Air Pollution Advice 1947

Clipped from the 1947 animation short, Modern Guide to Health, promoting general health awareness, from the British government. In 1952, a sulfur-laden smog covered London and was responsible for 4,000 deaths over a two-week period. Dr David Bates was there and recalls this tragedy in an article at http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0CYP/is_12_110/ai_98539833

Dr. Devra L. Davis has researched and written about the October 1948 air pollution tragedy in Donora, Pennsylvania, USA, her hometown. People literally asphyxiated. In a 12-hour period, 18 people died.. Within a month, about 70 people had died. Link to http://www.jhu.edu/jhumag/0603web/smoke.html for more detail.
