London is still really bad, continually missing European Clean Air Quality targets and has been fined several times. The Great Smog was visible due to sulphur from burning coal etc. Whereas today, you cannot see the smog... but it is still very much there.
- Angostura 10y agoIt's true London misses clean air targets. It is nothing like as bad as the old smogs.
- Reason077 10y agoYes, London is bad. Paris too. Especially with the reeking fumes near any major road from all the dirty diesel vehicles. Air quality in both cities is totally unacceptable in my opinion. But it's nothing remotely like the scale of disaster that India has, where there is often constant choking smoke enveloping entire cities and regions. Even China is clean by comparison.
- mafribe 10y agoI don't believe that air pollution in London in 2016 is anywhere near as bad as in the 1950s. Not by a long shot. Air Quality targets have become massively more demanding.
