of the Diviston of Special Health Services has been working in the increasingly more important but relatively unexplored field of air pollution in its specific relation to human health.The work began with a search for and a systematic appraisal of the scattered sources of knowledge, followed closely by tentative explorations into those parts of the prob- lem holding promise of significant findings.Sufficiently successful results of initial activities helped chart the present course of action, which, in turn, points toward ideas requiring emphasis in the future.IT HE Public Health Service has been concerned with the health aspects of commu- nity air pollution for many years (1, 2).It was not until 1955, however, when Public Law 159 was passed by the 84th Congress, that the sub- ject was accepted as of sufficient importance in itself to merit separate study.
