Air Quality Today Seems Poor But Websites State Otherwise
William Gibson wrote "...she walked back...through that weird, evanescent moment that belongs to every sunny morning..., when some strange perpetual promise of chlorophyll and hidden, warming fruit graces the air, just before the hydrocarbon blanket settles in." I stepped outside this morning a couple of hours too late for that, and my lungs immediately sensed the heavy, choking quality of the air.
But checking on aqicn.org and DEFRA websites, I see they say air-quality here is good / air pollution level low.
