I just noticed the air quality option on google maps and so thought I would have a look around. Is this an error?

  1. I farted real bad after döner from that new place from Mahmud (next time less spicy sauce)

  2. It’s an industrialized city in a valley. So if the wind isn’t blowing the pollution gets stuck over the city. If you look Graz also has poor air too for the same reason, although the city is ~1/4 the size of Turin.

  3. It is entirely possible that there is only one sensor in that area and it either malfunctioned or had a bus parked next to it when the measurement was taken. The UI then extrapolated that high reading as a blob with fading edges.

  4. How bad is it? Is that brown Shanghai brown or industrial city contrasted with pretty chill mountains with fresh clean air

  5. The air? What are you talking about? This is the femboys concentration in Europe, and it looks right

  6. we live in a “almost-basin”, inbetween mountains, hills and the “pianura piadana” which is already one of the most polluted areas in europe

  7. Turin is in a low area surrounded by mountains and high hills, maybe it’s one of the factors.

  8. In this case it’s probably just a sensor failure or a very specific event (eg. a forest fire right in that place)

    Because air quality in Turin is bad, but it’s the same in all the Po vallley,  there’s no reason to have such a difference 

  9. Something to do with this stupid lazy horse, or else

  10. It moves up from Genoa and gets caught against the mountains. You sometimes get terrible smog in Turin.

  11. Turin is a big city with numerous factories near/in the city AND has mountains on one side and hills on the other, so the polluted air has nowhere to go.

    P.S.: the nightsky has a purple-ish hue to it, I’m not sure it is related, I just wanted to share

  12. Well, italian cuisine is very aromatic, mostly when it comes out in fart forms, so…
