Tube air is safer than in cars

[mutt k]

Or so says www.thisislondon.com/news/londonnews/articles/18680822?source=Evening%20Standard

Could this be because you try not to breathe too deeply on the tube because of the smell?

Would that still be the case if you had the air con set to internal circulation only?.

I'm suspicious of that button on the dash. Won't you eventually use up all the oxygen in your car and asphyxiate at the wheel?. I'll bet loads of accidents have been caused this way

As for the London Underground, don't they know that 90% of all dust on the trains comes from Goths?. They should ban them from the network.

[nervous]

is the other 10% from new-romantics? ill bet it is.

Research has shown that, although it may seem dusty, commuters are actually exposed to less fine-particle pollution on the Underground than they would be on London's roads.

Yes, from all the crap that comes out of the Buses.

The smell is of course worse on the tube.

Another load of bollox half-news from a load of medical non-jobs.

I can't be ed to recite science but unless there is a lot more depth to that report with a huge treatise on the nature of the particles, it's utter shite. This sort of crap infuriates me as people believe it.

I tell you what, when I get back into teaching a small but significant group of people will be able to distinguish true science from poo.

The London Underground probably holds the greatest asbestos risk that you will find in day-to-day life.

Well, with the exception of '60s schools. Most of those flat roofs are asbestos sheet. And those big convector heaters built into the old benches were full of it.
