A meteorological factor F(=Minimum temperature X Wind speed) is introduced to analyze trends of concentration of sulphur dioxide (y) in London after the Clean Air Act 1956. The relationship between the factor and pollution is linear, i.e. y = AF + B, and the values of coefficient (A) and constant (B) depend upon fuel consumption and SOZ emission. The A-B diagram shows the relative level of SO, concentration for each year, taking account of effect of meteorological conditions. In central London,
