Abstract
In the London fog of December, 1952, the densest concentrations of sulphur dioxide were 1-339 p.p.m. and of smoke 4.46 mg. per c.m. on Dec. 7 and 8, when the fog was at its worst (Scott 1953, Logan 1953). Both values are much greater than normal for that season of the year. In this connection the results of our laboratory studies of the respiratory response of man to low concentrations of sulphur dioxide are of interest.
