supplying the fuel oil samples and the
ASTM D1552-58T analyses.

Procedure
Place 10 ml water and four drops of
30%
H2O2 in the Schoniger flask.
Weigh a sample of the oil directly onto
the filter paper carrier. The weight of
the sample required depends on the sulfur
content of the oil. We have found that
the following amounts are adequate: 5 to
10% sulfur10 to 15 mg sample; 2 to
5% sulfur15 to 25 mg sample; 0 to
2% sulfur25 to 40 mg sample. The
sample is conveniently added to the

recorded the highest smoke concentrations and one of them, Crumpsall, recorded the highest sulphur dioxide measurement, but tied with the City Centre
forfirstplace.
There was no significant change in
mortality rates and no records are available regarding respiratory disease morbidity. Significantly, for the first time,
the general public became aware of the
distinction between smoke and its effects and sulphur dioxide and its effects
and realized that smoke control did not
mean the automatic elimination of sulphur dioxide from the atmosphere.
In Leeds the fog was particularly
dense on December 4 and 5. Records
of smoke and sulphur dioxide concentration were taken at nine points in the
city and marked increases were noted.
The cold weather preceding the fog had
resulted in householders using their
domestic open fires for long periods.
The highest recorded level of pollution
occurred in an industrial area situated
in the lowest part of the city. Deaths
rose a little, the figures for respiratory
diseases being the highest yet recorded
this winter.
