Is there a map available that compares this to London as a whole?
The last time microparticulate matter was discussed on this sub, it turned out that a lot of it was rubber from the brakes. Definitely don’t want that in my lungs.
Central, northern, picadilly, bakerloo and Victoria the dirtiest lines? Who would’ve thought 😂
I’m sure it’s cleaner than it used to be.
Years ago I used to blow black sotty snot out my nose after a Tube ride. Seems to be far less dirt in the air down there these days.
London tube trains are absolutely filthy, I don’t know how often they are cleaned but in comparison, Japanese underground trains are a million times cleaner
Are we supposed to be surprised lol
I mean there are sewers in London
Black on a black background isn’t the best
I’m pretty sure it’s what caused my asthma, 8 years every day on the Northern Line.
I need to go back to wearing an N95 respirator
As a graphic designer, this is a terrible infographic.
Luckily the uLEZ has ensured we’ve got clean air with more people using public transport!
This colour chart is beyond frustrating 😂
So the deeper the line the more worse it is
I went to get in the victoria line at Vauxhall today and there was a big dog turd on the tube right at the door entrance…..
This chart and the article the data is featured in is from 2019 btw
Safe limit? Safe limit of apples? Safe limit of laughs? No scale
Is London spotlessly clean? No.
Is it near infinitely more clean than it used to be? Absolutely.
Whenever anyone complains about London being dirty, or the air quality being bad, I show them pictures from as little time ago as the 90s, where every vertical surface was covered in an inch thick, viscous, black patina of soot, exhaust residue, and various other industrial pollutants.
The air quality can still be improved, but how short our memories are and how quickly we forget what the city used to be like.
Tbf from what I see on the internet London looks like the dirtiest place in the UK by a country mile
