I was in Washington during the fires and the worst AQI I saw was around 560. It was painful to breathe outside through a folded T shirt and your eyes watered. The whole house smelled of burnt wood. I can’t even imagine what 975 is.
Now, imagine the build up of those toxic and carcinogenic compounds over decades. Plenty of those chemicals persist in the environment. They get in the clouds and rain back down, where they’re deposited in the ground and water systems. Then they get into the food chain and travel even further.
Someone actually did that in China in the late 2000s. He sold canned air for houses. It was nothing more than compressed air from outside but he advertised it as purified air that will add positive pressure to your apartment, preventing toxic outside air from getting in. He later vanished but ran with millions
The serious problem with this is it results in long-term Health damage starting with children. In 30 years you're going to start to see this problem come home with COPD and Asthma and heart failure coming along much younger than it should
I just looked up Chongqing on the apple weather and the first thing that pops up is how it has excellent air quality before the actual degree of the day, Apple shilling for the Chinese government so openly like this is insane to me
I never understood air quality til we had almost a week of smoke blanketing our city when the canadian wildfires were happening. Its cause we've never had anything close to what you point out about china. Hazy on a few really hot, humid summer days. But almost always blue skies on sunny days. That would suxx living with that every day.
I've been to China and my family came from there, what you breathe from the Canadian wildfires is nothing compared to China. Just walking the streets, my eyes burned. After a few hours, my lungs hurt and now I understand why they wear face mask. I wiped my makeup foundation off and my towel was tan and black.
haha i was there from 2009 to 2014 :) and yes I remember the days when you looked out the window of the office and it was basically like a foggy mess outside with viewbility below 50m
In 2015, a Product Manager I was working with visited his Chinese supplier and couldn't believe how bad the air quality was. He was actually gagging on the factory site and his Chinese rep looked askew at him and said (paraphrased) "What's wrong with you? That's the smell of MONEY!!!"
When I was in Taiwan in 1999 - 2000 the air quality was not so great. I the evening when the fog rolled in, it was an "acid mist" the droplets of which burned the skin on my bare arms. Interesting experience walking through a cloud of burning droplets.

Wait, how? I remember CNN news saying Jakarta is the number one city in the world with the worst air quality and just now I checked, the air quality sits at 82! Far below Chongqing. Even the worst sits at 172 (when CNN reported the news) which is below 571 shown here. How is Jakarta deemed to be the city with the worst air quality in the world if this data on China's air quality exist? 🤔
Not all air quality issues are the same or even comparable ?¿? Wildfire smoke. Pollution from burnt coal / whatever. And in Jakartas case [ i may be remembering wrong, but ] They are burning old electronics components, melting down electronics, etc. I may be remembering wrong, but the point remains..unless that is factored / baked into the quality scale ...
Believe it or not, Japan suffers from China's pollution just as much as Taiwan does. PM 2.5 pollutants come across the Sea of Japan regularly, as do actual sand from Northern Chinese desertification!
The purple pollutant being released there is Elemental iodine.. I halogen compound. Given that bromine chlorine and fluorine are fairly toxic, I would expect iodine to be the same

Back in 1988 I went to China with a group of conservators to visit a few artefacts. We all came down with a HORRIBLE Beijing flu from the pollution. This was when everyone was on bikes and still the air was grey and tasted of metal. Goodness knows what it’s like now!
The worst quality we had the last 3 years during a storm that brought sand from the sahara was 79. usually it’s around 4-30 here, depending on wind and everything. Regards from Germany (i live in one of the biggest economic centers here in Germany)

The number one cause of all problems on Earth are overpopulation of Humens. CO2 emissions, water & air pollution, overpopulation. Deforestation to make room for more food production, overpopulation. Depleting the oceans of all fish and life and is heading towards total collapse, overpopulation. Endangered species going extinct because of habitat loss, overpopulation. The destruction of coral reefs from overfishing and pollution, overpopulation. And anything else you can think off. There is not a single problem that's not caused by overpopulation of Humens, the Earth simply can't sustain this many humans that all need food, water, heating, electricity, clothing, cars, smartphones and all the other things humans constantly consume.
So the meme, "The carbon that they want to reduce is us," is actually true, then... I'm glad when your kind says this stuff openly, and wonder, worriedly, what your "solution" is.
@@johnhonker437 That's just a fact, if you want to save humanity from itself, you need to reduce the Earth's population with about 7 billion people right now, if you don't do it, humanity will ultimately make the planet uninhabitable for ALL human life.

I can remember traveling from Northern Michigan to Detroit back in the 70s ... the air started to smell by around Bay City and you could barely see airliners passing over in Detroit. Today, blue skies aren't always the norm, but that's the same weather that's always been here. Suffice it to say, the air doesn't smell and you can see everything up to the cloud deck on days that aren't clear. At it's worst, 50 years ago, it was nothing like as bad as the photos you put up.
Southern Ohio aqi 36 I used to go to China a lot in early 2000s. Eating breakfast on 20th floor of hotels and no idea what weather is like. I was there just before the Olympics, when cars went to even/odd days depending on license plate. With industry shutdown I saw blue skies in Beijing for the first time.
Your ending song is on point this episode: "When I take a breath you fill up my lungs" - probably wise to have someone else pre-filter the air you're breathing. Sorry about the asthma, darling!
I was driving on the bridge yesterday and noticed on one side it was foggy. On the other side, it was clear. The sky was blue and the sun was shining on both sides even with the fog.
In shanghai if i remember correctly in 2014 we had 1400 AQI. thing was everybody was saying it was 600 because the API for AQI where all connected to chinese sources (public and private) But you could check the data collected by the US consulate in shanghai and it was 1400. Turns out all the apps back then did have a colourscale that wouldn't go above 600. so even if the data retrieved was above you'd still see the cursor on red "very-high"with the description "~400-600 Pm2.5" It was just showing what red means and not the actual number. Also as a counter measure we also had calculators in our workspaces that would indicate the levels in the rooms we were in. those calculators were cheap and homemade arduino based because we couldn't trust the chinese sold instruments on taobao. And they indicated usually 20% less pollution than the american consulate. (the offices where on third floor, and no smokers allowed, windows could be opened but AC was always ON)
It is just a foggy day. Chongqing is literally called the "Fog city" but of course these two guys need to make everything about China bad. that is how they make money
A friend of mine lives in Taichung, Taiwan. No matter how smoggy it gets there (and it can be pretty bad!), he won't use the s-word ("smog"). Instead, according to him, it's always "hazy".
That solar panel argument is very interesting. Earlier today i read an article from The Economist claiming that it was good Europe is buying cheaper Chinese solar panels (even though its putting European makers out of business) Because its getting more Europeans to put in solar panels. However, if the Chinese factories making the solar panels are polluting a lot, You could argue that maybe European manufacturers won't cause that amount of environmental damage. The article was called Europe is importing a solar boom. Good news for (nearly) everyone It was posted on 08-02-2024
I'm unfamiliar with these figures, so of course I had too look up the current data for my area. So we have the nearest measuring station in this small German town, with an Autobahn less than a kilometer away, with a current value of... 3. 😂😂😂 Granted, it's been raining today. The peak of the last few days is 41. But still... the nearby bigger cities with a shitload of industry (Cologne and Leverkusen) show very similar numbers, all PM2.5 values below 10. And that's what it looks like almost everywhere in Europe, the worst areas are like 150, in North Italy and the Balkans. China, wtf are you doing? 😂
So I did a little digging and I think the pink smoke is actually produced by burning large amounts of iodine. Fun fact about iodine, it's used in the production of meth. Now it can also be found in medical waste but in either case it should have never been burned because it can be dangerous. However it only seems to be really life threating when ingesting large amounts.
this just shows how out of touch with China these two are. Chongqing is the "Fog city" and the aqi is usually under 40 aqi. It's fog not pollution. I'm not surprised they're so clueless as they haven't stepped foot in china for nearly a decade
You guys don't seem to understand. China is such a popular place that the devs have to bring back the draw distance, otherwise the server would lag too much.
That industrial smoke doesnt seem to be what they state just by colour alone, but maybe rodium superoxides when heated will turn pink but i would guess more on iodine if anything
Chongqing is literally called the "Fog city". Don't take my word for it either check the aqi/weather stats of chongqing, you will see if it fog not pollution. Or go and see for yourself, you will find it is fog, not pollution. Chongqing has a monsoonal humid subtropical climate, bordering on a humid subtropical climate and for most of the year experiences very high relative humidity, with all months above 75%. But of course believes these two who have no agenda or hateful narrative at all cough cough
Actually Japan is a fairly good example, especially considering it is an industrial type country, the low pollution is quite impressive considering that. On average over the year Japan's air is around 9.6 micrograms per cubic metre of CO2. That's lower than even 16 countries in Europe. China's average is 32.5 micrograms per cubic metre. The lowest CO2 is in countries which have barely any industry, such as Iceland, Polynesia etc, where it is around 3-4 micrograms per cubic metre. CO2 itself isn't inherently dangerous though, it's normal always for it to exist in the air, even before humans existed, and indoor CO2 levels are higher than outdoor levels as well. However there is no doubt that the CO2 levels inside certain Chinese cities have to be harmful to some degree to your health, but I would wager that it isn't quite the CO2 itself doing the harm, but instead other pollutants that were released in whatever burning process originally produced a lot of the CO2 smog around the city, likely industrial processes.
I'd be blown away to hear what an "organic" urban plan looks like for a high density city that doesn't include tall buildings. I thought he was kidding at first. Popular until the 70s? Anyone who can avoid building a tall building typically does. That pretty much explains why there have never been market forces driving the construction of Frank Lloyd Wright's prairie skyscraper. Of course there are some examples of the opposite which are built as show pieces (Burj Khalifa) but they are not what populates the extreme majority of building sites with tall buildings. They are extremely expensive per unit of area to build and operate compared to a low-rise building. Tall buildings were developed in cities with geographic limitations but plenty of demand, and have expanded beyond that to any urban area that can increase density to meet demand despite the cost. Cities flat-out cannot function with densities anything like what they are now if tall buildings are suddenly faux pas. Very silly take, detached from reality. Is the idea to limit population in cities through ordinance and code or what? Where are these "organic" cities? Who wants endless car-required suburban sprawl as an alternative?
You two have opened the eyes of the American people of what communism really looks like and how they treat their citizens. Lack of infrastructure quality was the most surprising thing I’ve ever seen or heard of!
The bad air is one of the reason a lot of rich Chinese people leave China. Last year China lost over 10 thousand individuals with more than a million dollars in assets.
I was in Washington during the fires and the worst AQI I saw was around 560. It was painful to breathe outside through a folded T shirt and your eyes watered. The whole house smelled of burnt wood.
I can’t even imagine what 975 is.
Yeah, they basically live in wildfire conditions year round. I can't imagine....
@lfrancis813Yeah, except the air is more toxic from all the chemical they released, compared to the wild forest fire.
Yeah, that literally felt like sandpaper in my eyes 24/7 by day 2, and I stayed mostly in doors.
Now, imagine the build up of those toxic and carcinogenic compounds over decades. Plenty of those chemicals persist in the environment. They get in the clouds and rain back down, where they’re deposited in the ground and water systems. Then they get into the food chain and travel even further.
I'd imagine it's a lot like trying to use a snorkel that's hooked up to a car's exhaust and a fireplace at the same time.

CO2 itself isn't inherently dangerous though, it's normal always for it to exist in the air, even before humans existed, and indoor CO2 levels are higher than outdoor levels as well.
However there is no doubt that the CO2 levels inside certain Chinese cities have to be harmful to some degree to your health, but I would wager that it isn't quite the CO2 itself doing the harm, but instead other pollutants that were released in whatever burning process originally produced a lot of the CO2 smog around the city, likely industrial processes.
holy crap i went to the same map and check my town our max. pollution is the minimum of there minimum...Crazy...
For solar panels to work it requires sunlight to penetrate the smog.
where I live is 19 rn and NYC is 33 at its worst
Currently 02/22/24 @ 3:21pm the AQI in Los Angeles, California is 45..
975? Your shadow will start talking to you at that point!
Thanks.
The only reason Apan has a 152 is because that is Sakurajima, an active volcano.
iron oxide is rust.
What is the air quality like in the factory that produces purple smoke?
Haha good work lads 💓
Number in my Oregon hometown today is 12.
Propaganda: That's fog
Me: No, that's smog
Propaganda: Potato, potahto
Me: No, fog and smog is not the same thing
Organic building would be an
Ant hill ......
1:43 u've bean there? i love beans 2
I'd be blown away to hear what an "organic" urban plan looks like for a high density city that doesn't include tall buildings. I thought he was kidding at first. Popular until the 70s? Anyone who can avoid building a tall building typically does. That pretty much explains why there have never been market forces driving the construction of Frank Lloyd Wright's prairie skyscraper. Of course there are some examples of the opposite which are built as show pieces (Burj Khalifa) but they are not what populates the extreme majority of building sites with tall buildings. They are extremely expensive per unit of area to build and operate compared to a low-rise building. Tall buildings were developed in cities with geographic limitations but plenty of demand, and have expanded beyond that to any urban area that can increase density to meet demand despite the cost. Cities flat-out cannot function with densities anything like what they are now if tall buildings are suddenly faux pas. Very silly take, detached from reality. Is the idea to limit population in cities through ordinance and code or what? Where are these "organic" cities? Who wants endless car-required suburban sprawl as an alternative?
Pretty sure there's no welding technique that would cause the purple/pink smoke
Lmao laowhy does a pretty good Tom Delonge
if they add lcd transparent signs everywhere neon everywhere and more smog and u got cyberpunk
6:33 They did it for Winston cos he likes purple and he's not even bloody grateful!!
They are glued to the roads or to walls in an art gallery somewhere in some western countries. If they did that in China they'd make them disappear.
Holy shit that's a good voice dude you should be in a band🎉
IKR
The exhaust fumes coming out of my car is less polluted than the air in China LOL
It’s not pollution. It’s ambiance.
In Russia, The air breathes you!
You can not trust any air that you can not see. You can see this air. It is right in front of you...
Chinese families invited to live & work in NORMAN, OKLAHOMA; we are hiring !
You two have opened the eyes of the American people of what communism really looks like and how they treat their citizens. Lack of infrastructure quality was the most surprising thing I’ve ever seen or heard of!
What city is 975 ?
Selling clean air cannisters gona be a billion $ industry in China 😂
lol if you've ever flown into vegas on a sunny day you can see some smog. that is nottt fog man
But the air quality in Beijing right now is 40's...
😂😅
Maybe that's the temperature 😂😂
Omg guess blink 182 impression!
The bad air is one of the reason a lot of rich Chinese people leave China. Last year China lost over 10 thousand individuals with more than a million dollars in assets.
Nord Africa is even worse, over 500. Here in my town, the Netherlands it is now 35. Peking is now 51 but a bit to the left is over 200
Where exactly in North Africa?
