Abstract | Louisville, Kentucky, like many other American cities, has experienced an increasing urban air pollution problem associated with population and industrial growth. Before World War II major concern was directed toward smoke and fly ash from domestic, commercial, and industrial coal combustion. The war and postwar years witnessed a shift in major concern to a more heterogeneous type of air pollution involving a variety of gases, fumes, dusts, and odors characteristic of an urban complex.
