AIBU to be horrified at the toxicity of the are in London

[Pleasejustgo]

I am shocked at how many otherwise healthy people are suffering from terrible respiratory ailments in London and surrounding areas at the moment. WTAF is going on?

AIR not are. Arse.

its called modern day living.....we are killing our planet

it's awful this year, my dr says he has seen so many more people suffering this week. i can't stop coughing and sneezing it's crapola out there.

I'm convinced I'm being poisoned.

Hideous just hideous and this is a drop in the bloody ocean.

The air where I live is lovely. But then again I don't live in the overcrowded rat cage that is London.

Urban sprawl, Bruha, urban sprawl. Just you wait, it will get you too.

are they? still? it's just from that Sahara smog or whatever it was?

Paris had same smog as London and Paris stopped half cars coming in, gave free public transport, on those days, London was as bad or worse and we did,

nothing

Sahara Dust ?

I thought it was all because of the Saharan dust?

Yup went in for work 1 day and from that 1 visit my asthma is bad!

Black snot yak.

I live in the 'overcrowded rat cage that is London'.

Can't say have noticed anything to be honest.

I haven't noticed any difference this week, speaking as a rat in the rat cage.

seems cleaner now than when I lived there 20 years ago.

wouldn't go back to live, though!

Me neither.

I noticed years ago when I last visited London so it isn't a new thing. I lived in a town so not exactly urban although am now, by the sea. I was blowing black gunk out of my nose daily whilst in London.

We have to go back in September for a wedding but luckily it's on outskirts.

I visit London regularly (I'm a native rat from the rat-cage) from my country home. I don't get the claims about tasting the toxicity in the air etc etc etc. I go, I enjoy my time there, I come back to the countryside. My tastebuds, nose and eyes remain unaffected until the farmers start shit spreading around my village.

Maybe all you rats become immune

I live in london. Never had black snot in my life. And the air seemed fine today. Only 2 days last week it was iffy and that was the only time in years I had noticed

I remember black snot from days spent in London in the 90s. I think the air quality has improved a a result of things like the congestion charge and hybrid busses. We were in London recently and didn't get black snot.

Haven't noticed.

I'm a sensitive little thing

gasps and reaches for new air filter for purifier
