He started work in 1933 in a small family business that had pioneered the manufacture of plastics in Australia early in the century. He qualified in industrial chemistry at the old Sydney Technical College in 1939, and in 1941 joined the CSIRO in Melbourne to work on plastics used in warplanes. Later his research interests turned to organic synthesis for cancer drugs and plant chemicals. In 1976 Dalton retired early, as a principal research scientist at CSIRO's division of organic chemistry, to pursue his interests in environmental issues. He has made submissions to public and parliamentary inquiries on the health problems of power lines, and on the mining of uranium and mineral sands. Les Dalton is the author of The Nuclear Environment (1983). He and his wife Dorothy live in Melbourne. They have two sons and two grandchildren."
