In this book, he examines the sources of smoke pollution, the chemical composition of smoke, and its effects on air quality, human health, and the natural environment. He also discusses the economic and social costs of smoke pollution and proposes solutions to mitigate its harmful effects. The Smoke Nuisance is a seminal work in the history of environmentalism and an important contribution to the field of public health.
