ENVIRONMENTAL HOLOCAUST
TOXIC AIR POLLUTION
.
In case the toxic air pollution didn’t kill you…
You don’t have to be a Martian to realize not only homo erectus remain non-extinct, they go around masquerading as intelligent species…
Take the toxic air pollution, for example, which is plaguing all major cities in the world.
France restricts driving in Paris to reduce hazardous smog
The French are introducing alternative driving days in the City of Lights in an attempt to reduce hazardous levels of air pollution.
Starting Monday, drivers can only use their vehicles in Paris and surrounding areas every other day.
The government decided to curb driving after air pollution remained at hazardous levels for five consecutive days in the metropolitan Paris [population: ~ 13 million.]
The PM pollution was so severe on Friday, the authorities waved public transport fees for three days to encourage people to leave their cars at home.
The PM10 figures for Paris topped 180 micro-grams per cubic meter (μgm–³), while Brussels recorded 160, Amsterdam 110, Berlin 85 and London exceeded 80.
Smog is expected to worsen on Monday, reports said.
Beijing AQI
The Beijing AQI on Sunday was between 200 and 255, or “unhealthy” to “very unhealthy.”

We’ve been shocked to see recent photos of Paris, as an example of really bad air quality.
