   I'm reading about fine particulate matter and what it does to one's lungs and I suddenly never want to breathe again.

   Also just _so_many_ old time diseases were the result of chronic exposure to fine particulates of one kind or another.

     @allan Tokyo's air quality is ok right now, but it's also the middle of the rain season... I'll check again in August. http://aqicn.org/city/japan/chiyodaku/hibiyakosaten/

     @codewiz the air quality here is currently good (http://airquality.alberta.ca/map/) but I think the long term forecast is for wildfire smoke to return, then it usually gets really bad really quickly.

     I think that air monitoring data is more available is really going to change how we think about pollution. It used to be invisible, so we didn't think about it, now that we can see the problem we can start agitating for change.

     Though with wildfires I'm not sure what we can do 🤔
