Thread: 1st time over a decade I have gone 24 hours without a cigarette

yeah yeah yeah....the diesel particles are too fine to get expelled from the lungs. British lorry drivers have a high rate of bladder cancer from it too. Charming way to go.
Brisbane air is great. I'm breathing it now. And my wife is too. My car has electric windows and at the first sign of a truck ahead I valve them up and down according to whichever side it's on.

First car I've heard of that has valves on it's electric windows. Made in Taiwan?

Driving around or living besides a busy arterial road or in a polluted city results in inhaling as much carcinogenic matter as smoking between 0.1 < 1 cigarette per hour, the same rate as in passive smoking.

The PM10 levels in some cities are way up at around the hundreds, where a "healthy" level is around 25.
Chiangmai today has PM10 levels at 79 which is normal for this time of year, smoke pollution from rice straw burning. Coupled with moderate to high No2 and O3 levels, and high UV levels, a pretty nasty air mix there.

I wouldn't be cycling around in that brew!
