This is a preliminary record, please consult the linked accessions. Sub-series consists of records relating generally to the topic of air pollution during the period from 1955 to 1972. All of the files pre-date the formation of the Department of the Environment (DOE) and were probably created by several divisions that were transferred into the new department in 1971. In this instance, the files originated in the Department of National Health and Welfare's Public Health Engineering Division (180 file block) and Occupational Health Division (450 file block) and probably with the Policy Planning and Research Branch of the Water Management Service (5000 file block), formerly within the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. All of these organizations were brought together for only a short period of time within the Fisheries and Forestry Department before they were transferred to the newly created DOE, and became part of the Environmental Protection Service (EPS). When the planning for the creation of an EPS filing system was conducted during the winter of 1971, it was apparently decided that these records would be "retired" and used only for historical research, since integration of these records into the new file classification system would require extensive re-numbering and would only lead to frustration and confusion [see Record Group 108, volume 3, file number 126, "Draft Report of a Study on the File Classification System(s) and Registry Procedures, Environmental Protection Service", Management Consulting Service, Department of the Environment, December 1971].
