How Polluted is Your Street?

[Drago]

I scored a 1. The air here is so sweet it actually scrubs you lungs clean.

Fresh air whooshes up my nostrils as well..

1 out of 6 for me as well. This is the average for the whole of the county that i live in. Not surprised to be honest as this is probably the biggest county in Wales and has the smallest population of any county in Wales.

"This is the same as the average for Northumberland, which is 1 out of 6"

If it included the dust kicked up by the building work though, it my be a 6

2 out of 6. Suburban area on a hill.

1 out of 6.

Suburban Sheffield.

 

[snorri]

1/6 Thank goodness I don't live in Yorkshire.

 

[Drago]

Sounds like most of us breathe clean, sweet air.

 

[Oldfentiger]

Scored a 1 here too.

Amazing considering the propensity for wood burners and livestock around here (Pendle, Lancs).

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

1 here too. Surprising when the air is thick with five spices and chili most nights from the Chinese takeaway.

1 out of 6, which is very strange as on the very same page I am linked to another BBC article which shows that I live in the 6th equal most polluted area in the country. Just another example of crappy headline writers.

Another 1 out of 6 here. That's odd,because apart from a 15ft grass verge and pavement, i'm on a main road. Haven't they taken all those tiny tyre particules i'm breathing in,into account? Then of course below me there's Mrs never has a fag out of her gob,who stands at her front door puffing on a cigarette for hours each day. Haven't they taken her ciggie smoke into account either?

I live in a London borough but still score 1.

 

[winjim]

1 out of 6.

Suburban Sheffield.

Ditto

 

[Bollo]

I live in a London borough but still score 1.

I tried my inlaws who live just off the A12 in Ilford and it only scored a '2'. What scores a '6'? Venus?!
