How is the air pollution over there?

IYasha May 30, 2023 View on HN

But the air is very dirty - wouldn't that be a problem?

Possibly also less air pollution ?

I am under the impression that smog and pollution were a big problem for urban areas.

Unless you live in an area with high air pollution.

Welp, didn't knew that. Air quality is still an issue tho.

That has to be an artefact, air pollution is measured near ground level so it shows up on the charts. I can't imagine that crackers contribute much to the general problem.I heard that the air pollution is so extreme in some cities that it's comparable to running a car inside a closed garage. I was told it also smells and tastes just like it. I have no trouble believing it, just look at this [1] google image search.[1] <a href="https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch

How about the poor air quality?

chiefalchemist Jan 27, 2020 View on HN

I was thinking the same. Most major urban areas have air quality issues and warnings.
