Pollution facts

As far back as 2013, the government called air pollution the “greatest daily health risk to the people of Hong Kong”. The Environmental Bureau only began publicising Hong Kong’s PM2.5 figures in 2012, nearly seven years after it began monitoring the harmful pollutant, and only after Beijing began publishing the same information. The Hong Kong government’s targets for annual air pollution are three and a half times higher than those recommended by the World Health Organization. The vast majority of Hong Kong people don’t have air purifiers, and those that do tend to be wealthier and better educated, according to Peter Brar, manager at air quality testing company Renaud Air, which also sells filters.

All 3D (combined results of all frequencies) 200 nanoTesla : maximum limits recommended in the US and Sweden The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) deemed extended exposure to electromagnetic fields stronger than 200 nanoTesla to be a “possible cause” for cancer. For both cars, measurements where the highest at the driver’s foot compared to the passenger’s foot level by a multiple of four (X4) * 64% of the measures for the ZOE and 60% of the measures for the MEGANE were superior to the maximum recommended level of 200 nanoTesla Big problem with the E. V. : much more Elecrosmog at the driver’s foot level * Other less negative points for the E. V. : less electrosmog on other seats * At the passenger foot level much lower mean with the E.V. than the diesel car : 120 nTesla vs 174 nTesla * Lower electrosmog at the back of the ZOE than in the front : inferior to 78 nTesla Larger surveys in standardized and strong settings should be conducted with different types of E. V. vehicles (like Tesla, Leaf etc.) and traditional ones to differentiate the various frequencies (like the ones linked to the magnetization of tires etc.).

Many websites and applications are available to measure the outdoor air pollution They measure both the concentration of PM 2.5, PM 10 as well as additonal pollutants such as O3, SO2, NO2. It was set up by 2 french entrepreneurs based in China as a hobby but their audience got much bigger than they expected : similarweb estimates the audience to be around 4M visits per month in Nov and Dec vs 2M for the rest of the year. The numbers shown on the map can be misleading: as an example, it sometimes displays PM 2.5 and sometimes PM 10 on the same map. By democratizing information on air pollution thanks to its environmental AI, the company Labs addresses this massive crisis by making the air more transparent, helping individuals improve their environmental health and enabling cities and enterprises to build cleaner products, services and policies.

Thanks to your signature last year, the management of the International Montessori School in Stanley eventually agreed to add the 3M filters in every classroom after multiples meetings and discussions over the last 18 months. To understand what it is about, how efficient it is and how to set up the same at home easily, read the following article “How to protect your children (and yourself) at home from the Air Pollution“. I had a meeting with the maintenance team on Friday and it was confirmed that installation of the 3M filters has now been rolled out to all classrooms. Share the articles from www.mypollutionfacts.com so that other schools and parents like you can better understand the sources of the air pollution, its impacts and enhance the air quality in the classroom, at work or at home.
