How Polluted is Your Street?

1/6. All that lovely sea air.

My road gets a 1 until I put my wood burner on.

Clean air, what's that?

I will report back in 7 days as strangely at this very moment I have a IAQ test taking place.

There was recent research that in a smoggy LA that 52% of the pollution was coming from household chemical and personal care products. Which is reflected down my street smell like a launderette or a perfume shop

I get a 1 but so does my Dad who lives in a built up part of Southend.

Oddly enough in my section of London and it's 4 out of 6, which is not far from Ilford where i grew up and just down the road from Leytonstone, i noticed a couple of you scored 1 & 2!

rating of 4 means there is a strong chance of nitrogen dioxide levels exceeding the annual legal limit. Just 1 in 200 GB postcodes reach this category or higher. Sensitised individuals (eg. Asthma sufferers) should manage exposure and exercise levels accordingly and there are likely to be some health impacts of long-term exposure.

This might explain why all of a sudden this year, my hayfever and chesty crap has comeback to haunt me, first time in over 30 years! either way i haven't ridden this bike since the week before last
