Abstract
The monograph portrays the social nature of environmental hazards in an American metropolis. It is concerned with air pollution in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The hazard is compared with airplane noise, brush fires, floods, and slides; to indicate the manner in which air pollution is related to urban population, social organization and technology. The work provides a framework for the analysis of environmental hazards, and explores their meaning for urban life. The report is an initial attempt to describe the interrelations of urban environmental hazards and the social life of the metropolis.
