Anyone know how this compares to other daily hazards (living on a main road, being overweight etc)? Edit Looks like you can get a hepa filter for £70 that will fix the issue for the most part. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08G8JHGWH/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_fabc_oe37FbTYE4ETA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08G8JHGWH/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_fa... And gas stoves (and so presumably fires?) are also a problem. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/may/05/gas-stoves-air-pollution-environment https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/may/05/gas-stov... Thank god we mastered central heating decades back...

This article says breathing the air in Beijing on one day is 15 micromorts. Beijing seems to have a P2.5 AQI of 50-100. You can use that to compare to the hazard of your choice. https://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report-every-breath-you-take-1967951 https://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report-every-breath-you-t...

> Looks like you can get a hepa filter for £70 that will fix the issue for the most part. True though that may be, I think the main issue is the spoiling of the commons: the air we breathe. I love my indoor air filters, but I sure do like fresh outdoor air as well. With regards to the gas stoves: it's mostly an issue of indoor air pollution which is certainly valid (a lot of particulate matter is created when cooking anything with heat). Even a properly sealed / ventilated wood stove is creating a lot more pollution than an equivalent gas one. Now if we could only heat our house by mining bitcoin we'd all be better off. /s
