They might as well raise it to 500 and then claim that their air is the best in the world with PM levels far below their acceptable threshold. ???? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yom Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 A very interesting website is working again. http://berkeleyearth.org/air-pollution-overview I think, we can not influence (the dirt in the air coming from) our neighbours. So, let's start here !? But who and where? ******************************** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night on beach rd I counted 12 bhat buses in a row, idleing in traffic ,each one, a rattling smoke belching old diesel ....some changes in the quality of public transport vehicles would be a place to start...but don't hold your breath....better yet don't go outside...
