Abstract
ACUTE high-level exposures to air pollutants have been well documented as causing an excess of deaths in exposed human populations. More difficult to assess has been the effect of chronic low-level exposures. This presentation will limit itself to this aspect of air pollution. The effects of air pollution on vegetation, other animals and buildings, and other economic effects such as increased laundry and housekeeping costs, and the effect on esthetic values will not be considered. This does not imply that these are not important but rather that time and space do not permit their inclusion.Selected research concerning air pollution . . .
