The State Health Department today announced plans to investigate this aspect of the air pollution picture as part of a general health survey. The plan was disclosed in the department's second smog report to Gov. Goodwin J. Knight. The report asserted also that, in spite of seven years of efforts, the expenditure of a lot of money and elimination of substantial amounts of pollutants, the frequency and severity of smog in Los Angeles has not been reduced.

Air pollution in rural and uninhabited areas is marked for investigation also.

These come under A lack of information on the concentration of oxidants in the air of uninhabited parts of the state seriously interferes, the department said, with interpretation of the information obtained in the urban areas.
