    Post was inspired by an 8 hour old [post in r/mapporn](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/qclxhm/poisonous_so%E2%82%82_in_atmosphere_over_northern_africa/). I just took another screenshot for up-to-date information.

  2. The emission hotspots bottom right are “interesting”…

    That’s all mostly from oil refineries or oil fields, I’d guess. Must be a nice place to live!

  3. Spawns in major Spanish archipelago, avoids main land, hits Morocco like a truck, goes trough other major Spanish archipelago, avoids central Europe, goes straight for Eastern europe

  4. I am in Eastern Poland at the moment and it rained yesterday. In the morning my car was literally caked in dust which I assume to be the sulphur mixed with local smog. It has to be highly acidic so probably not good for the paint.
