    I bet this holds true for the entire world.

      Here in the Philippines, specifically in Digos City, we’re at 10μg/m³ which is twice over WHO’s safe values. And this is in a tree-filled quiet town. I wonder how they handle it over at the bigger cities.

      From the article:

      In Sweden, by contrast, there is no area where PM2.5 reaches more than twice the WHO figure, and some areas in northern Scotland are among the few across Europe that fall below it.

      In the map they provide Norway is almost entirely below the WHO safe air recommendation.

      Seems like a very big difference between the two map, and not just in coverage.

        It’s a German project, so of course the coverage is different.

        The point is in the difference of both.

          Even within Germany the coverage is different though.

            Congratulations, you’ve gotten the point!

              No, you didn’t. I’m comparing the data from both maps of the same region, which are vastly different.
