A fuel-air explosion was investigated as a means of neutralizing a smoke screen of fog oil. On three runs a spray of propylene oxide was detonated inside a tactical fog cloud. The FAE did not ignite the fog oil cloud nor was any clearance evinced as judged by visual observation and camera and television recordings. Transmissometers with lines-of-sight through the clouds operated in the visible and three infrared bands. Immediately after detonation, the transmittance was reduced in all four spectra bands. The reduction in transmittance was probably a result of dust lofted by the FAE. It was concluded that tactical fog oil clouds are very probably too lean to ignite. There was no difficulty in detonating a fuel-air cloud in the covering fog oil cloud.

Mastering Public Health is an essential study aid for all those preparing for postgraduate exmainations in public health, and a definitive guide for the MFPH examination. The book covers the five key areas of public health knowledge: Research methods; Disease prevention and health promotion; Health information; Sociology, policy and health economics; and Organisation and management of health care. It is structured to follow the entire MFPH Part A exam syllabus, with appendices on revision strategies, exam technique and essay frameworks. Written in conjunction with an international team of editors, Mastering Public Health is aimed at public health practitioners who are training or re-validating in the UK and worldwide. Its concise format also serves as a quick reference text for the specialty. 'I am confident that this will rapidly become required reading for all those taking the Faculty's exams, as well as for those undertaking training in public health in many other countries.'

I am delighted to present before you the book "Air Pollution". Pollution problems have continuous increase around the world because of increased population growth and associated industrial activities. The presence of high levels of pollutants in nature is of major concern because of their potential threats to both human and ecosystem health. Air pollution poses a grave danger for not only in man but the entire life on this planet. Air pollution have many adverse effect on the nature such as Global warming, Climate change, Ozone depletion, Sea level rise, Adverse effects on biodiversity etc. The foremost thing which deserves to be done is to educate the people that the atmosphere is not meant for dumping all kinds of pollution. Importance of preserving the health and welfare of man, protection of plant and animal life, prevention of damage to property, ensuring visibility for safe air and ground transport, and maintenance of cleaner atmospheric environment should also be explained. We are seeing a series of inovations and experiments aimed at alternate and unconventional options to reduce pollutants. Air Pollution is one of the larger mirrors of man's follies, and a challenge we need to overcome to see a tomorrow. This book provides a detailed knowledge in various aspects of Air pollution. I have taken every effort to incorporate updated facts and interpretations in the light of the latest findings and development in the area concerned. This book will be useful for the graduate and post graduate students of life science and environmental science as a basic reference.

Research during the past year has led to some significant results which have profound implications in the area of vapor cloud explosion in general, and in the area of 'shockless' initiation of detonation in particular. In brief we have; (1) demonstrated experimentally that initiation of detonation can be achieved by injecting a chemical catalyst into a fuel-air mixture, (ii) demonstrated experimentally that direct initiation can be achieved by seeding an explosive mixture with free radicals of the appropriate concentration and spatial distribution, (iii) demonstrated experimentally that direct initiation can be achieved via turbulent mixing between an explosive mixture and its combustion products, (iv) demonstrated experimentally that unconfined turbulent flame speeds exceeding 400 m/s can readily be achieved in a mixture as inert as methane air, (v) clarified through experiments the role of confinement on the propagation of detonations near the detonability limits, and (vi) assessed the far field destructive potential of FAE weapons by calculating numerically the effective blast energy of non-ideal blast waves generated by vapor cloud explosions.
