>Researchers from AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków say their invention, which is being tested in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, reduces high levels of PM2.5 and PM10 particle pollution by blasting shockwaves created by explosions of a mixture of flammable gases and air.

Ok, guys. We have three options:
1. go green
2. go nuclear
3. shoot at the bad air
Everybody: …
Poland: shoot!
Why not change it’s color and make that color illegal, or make it weigh 1000 time more than what’s legal, or just push the typhoid laden canoe down the river?
