Things are much better now, but there's still some progress to be made.
I live in Southern England, and my HEPA air filter looks black after 12 months of filtration indoors. It's super scary.
My windows have very noticeable black particles outside, probably originating from combustion engines and coal power plants.
I can't wait till we get rid of those. Walking or biking downtown Oxford or Cambridge during rush hour feels really unhealthy. You can smell diesel fumes from buses, lorries and cars every second.
- Symbiote 8y agoI used to live between the main railway line from King's Cross and a large road. The window facing the road would get a film of oily black grease, and the windows facing the railway a coating of oily particles. I don't know which was more dangerous. Hopefully the next government un-cancels the railway electrification projects, if only for the pollution it saves.
