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.
