Abstract: In this paper we first observe that the complement of a countable closed subset of an $n$-dimensional manifold $M$has large $(n-1)$-homology group. In the last section we use this information to prove that, under some topological conditions on the given manifold, certain families of fibers, in the total space of a fibration over $M$, are not critical sets for some special real or $S^1$-valued functions.
