I am guessing that the fact that they very visibly _see_ pollution might have something to do with it. Those that were in Beijing when things got bad with smog know -- after spending a day outside and coming home, you'd find your nose to have black debris. It's a really unsettling thing especially if you're not used to it. Beijing has gotten a lot better recently, the joke is that it's because the Politburo leaders mostly live in Beijing and if affects them the most.

- k-mcgrady 10y agoThis has never happened to me. Is it possible it's nothing to do with being in central London but due to dust and debris in the tube system? The amount of stuff that gets blown around in the air in the deep level lines is blinding if you don't look away as a train approaches.
