Is it easy to fake the numbers this days where you can automate a lot of the measurements?
- saagarjha 7y agoWell, it depends on who's making the measurements. How easy is it to actually measure China's emissions by a neutral third party?
- TeMPOraL 7y agoWith the proposed new set of EU's Sentinel satellites hopefully to be launched in the coming years, it should be trivial. That is, if the proposed mission actually happens.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoYes, you just put a fan in front of your pollution sensors.
- simion314 7y agoI think satellites are used this days, balloons too
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoAQI is taken by fixed sensor stations, you can even get a map of them per Chinese city (along with individual readings for more localized AQI measurements). So a few Hebei officials were scamming the system by filtering the air directly around the sensor stations. Beijing was not amused.
