Smoke
Smoke pollution has been greatly
reduced now that much less coal is
burnt in homes. "Clean Air Acts" were
passed 30 years ago which insist on
smokeless fuel being used instead of
coal in many areas.
Diesel engines can produce a good
deal of smoke, especially if they are
not properly adjusted. There is recent
evidence suggesting that diesel fumes
are hazardous to health. All commercial
vehicles are checked for smoke emission
every year.
Cigarette smoke in the air is very
dangerous, even for non-smokers.
