Study of the
relation between wind direction
and temperature inversions

Introduction:
The air is
constantly moving. Convection currents and wind keep air
circulating around the Earth. Polluted air moves away
and it becomes replaced by fresh air. However in certain
circumstances such as temperature inversions and faint
wind, the air does not circulate and pollutants
accumulate. Such accumulation of pollutants kills
hundreds or thousands of people each year around the
world.
On the week beginning December 5th 1952, four thousand
Londoners died in the worst air-pollution disaster on
record. |
