or allow or cause to be permitted or allowed the discharge or escape
into the open air of such quantities of dense smoke, cinders, soot,
dust, noxious gases, offensive odors, trade wastes and other pollutions

of the same is essential to the public welfare. Therefore, the provisions

No person shall allow, suffer or cause to be permitted the discharge
or escape into the open air of such quantities of smoke, cinders,
soot, dust, noxious gases, offensive odors, trade wastes and other
pollutions in such a manner as to cause injury or nuisance to any
person or persons, or to endanger the health or safety of any such
