Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Industrial Revolution caused a large rise in air pollution in British cities?

Yes. A reference article states that the emergence of great factories and immense growth in coal consumption gave rise to unprecedented air pollution in industrial centres, and a peer-reviewed paper notes the British Industrial Revolution led to widespread factory-smoke pollution. Other items only partially address the claim, linking industrialization to air-quality decline generally or via London comparisons.
