And right before I'm supposed to get an Android phone from my employer, I read that Google is doing the Apple/MS thing to Android and making it hard to change the font.
Everyone's Brand® is more important than users' ability to read text on screen.

It was raining heavily at night and cat was in the window, behind the curtains, until it lit up with lightning. Then she peeked out and jumped over to the bed. Now she's unusually calm. Normally she will sing at us at this time because she wants to go out.

Maybe it's not considered "serious" enough. You can get a little bit sick, it's fine.

If it affects people's health negatively here, and this was the cleanest city of those measured, then actually pollution poses a risk in all of these cities?

Maybe it won't make a difference for city politicians who are fine with being at 2 × guidelines if they're at 20 × guidelines instead.
But for those who want their air quality to not negatively impact the health of people, they really should lower those guidelines it sounds like.

The WHO guidelines on air quality seem very lax.
Their recommended target levels are several times higher than they are here.
Local scientists say it's not actually good here, it's just that other measured EU cities are worse.
They can see the effects that it has on people's health.
Why are the guidelines set for like 4-5 times more pollution than that?
I guess it would be a big improvement for e.g. Berlin to meet those levels but come on, aim a bit higher.
