Abstract
When waste products have been discharged into the atmosphere, their subsequent life history is a meteorological problem. Even though pollutants are put into the atmosphere at a constant rate, the condition of the weather will determine whether these contaminants accumulate to the point where discomfort and damage result or are thinned out enough so that no problem is involved. Weather conditions also determine if such a problem will be localized in one small section of the community or will be widespread. Certainly, any wise city-planning activity should consider local weather conditions and their relation to air pollution when laying out zones for industrial and residential development.
