Abstract: Photographing the smoke plume from an industrial source is the simplest technique for determining its height. Photography is economical and provides a permanent record of the momentary shape of the plume. Such information is valuable in planning control of an area's air quality. In this technique a single camera is used, then the data obtained are analyzed. Several interesting features of the smoke plumes can be observed and recorded photographically. The procedures are set forth and the merits of the use of the technique in studying environmental problems and the errors to be expected in the measurements are examined.
