Title: Re: How polluted is your street? Post by: doubleup on January 10, 2018, 12:27:48 PM pretty sure this is a load of nonsense. I put in the postcode of a well known pollution hotspot in the centre of Glasgow and it gave it a rating of one... I had to put in a postcode right beside a heavily congested motorway to get a two. This would seem to imply that you would have actually live inside an exhaust pipe to get three+
Title: Re: How polluted is your street? Post by: Jon MW on January 10, 2018, 12:32:26 PM I put in where I live, where I used to live, where I was born and where I work - and they all came out as 1.
It's a very specific measure of pollution - I suspect that London might be the only place where it might have particularly interesting results (and that's not even certain). EDIT: I checked where my work used to be based in London (on Charing Cross Road) and it came out as 3. Title: Re: How polluted is your street?

This is the same as the average for City of London, which is 4 out of 6 (lightly polluted). |
