I completely agree with #2. I immigrated from Switzerland a year ago and live in what counts for a relatively "unpolluted" neighborhood on the Carmel. But compared to Swiss cities the smell of exhausts is enormous, I won`t use the bicycle because I`m convinced it will not further my health but destroy it, and I doubt I should take my newborn son out for a walk - without first driving out of the city for half an hour, thus increasing the problem.
It is well known that f.i. Ozone is bad especially for childrens` respiratory system - in Switzerland the levels are published each day in the newspaper and a warning is issued if the levels are too high, not to take your child for a walk in the city. If they stay high, traffic may be restricted. |
