"Psychological Aspects of the Problem of Atmospheric Smoke Pollution" by J. E. Wallace Wallin, written in 1913, examines how air pollution caused by smoke negatively impacts people's minds and bodies. The book shows that smoke from factories and cities makes people sick, weakens their bodies, and even makes it harder to think clearly. Wallin explains how, when the air is full of smoke, and the sun is blocked, people tend to feel sad and tired. He suggests that when the weather is bright and sunny, people are more energetic and happier, but when it's dark and gloomy because of smoke, people get tired and don't want to do anything. This publication explains the psychological effects of smoke pollution and suggests future investigations into city living conditions impact human health.
