'Public Enemy' by Patrick Alexander

When a young boy tries to retrieve his ball from the roof of Carlingham Alloys, he collapses, as does the workman attempting to rescue him. An inquest reveals that they both had their lungs burnt out - an incident that comes to the attention of Quist and his team. Doomwatch investigates the factory, where a new alloy process is being developed; but Quist suspects that pollution, waste disposal and ventilation systems at the plant may be responsible for the deaths. However, the management and workforce are unhappy with the investigation, which they see as a threat to their progress and jobs…
