Re: I Am Not Panicking

The air in NYC is way better than it used to be.

- First they banned coal heating.

- Then they banned #6 and #4 fuel oil.

- More buses are not diesel.

- Cars have far fewer emissions than they used to. Getting lead out of gasoline was a massive health improvement, but the particulates are greatly reduced too.

- NJ has cleaned up its act a fair amount. For example, the Linden refinery on the NJ Turnpike smells way less bad than it used to.

In the 1970s I lived in Renton WA, south of Seattle, for a few years. I have never experienced such eye-irritating air in NYC as I experienced there. Living with lots of cars and high mountains to your east is way worse than NYC.
