Thanks for the reminder. I'm just as forgetful, although it's not the outer screen/filter that gets dirty, but the HEPA filter that needs to be replaced.

fforest Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Speaking of air cleaners......I have a 35-meter condo and I run the air purifier 24/7/365 and I don't open the windows only the balcony door.....Yet somehow I still get a fair amount of dust on everything....I clean it up then in a month or 2 the dust is back... I just don't get where the dust comes from? Bloody hell if the air was not being cleaned 24/7 the dust would be really really bad.. Maybe if I was on a higher floor I might have less dust I don't know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia seems pretty pollution free all year round.... Coincidentally an Australian friend was bragging last night that Tasmania had the cleanest air in the world. Just looked it up and found out he was telling me a porky, they're third down the list with Zurich taking the #1 spot. The 7 cities with the cleanest air in the world – ranking Cleanest air in the world in 2022 Zurich, Switzerland The cleanest air in the world is in Zurich. The pollution status is determined on the basis of average levels of PM2.5 measured over a period of 12 months. And this Swiss city obtained an annual value of 0.51 µg / m3, which makes it the lowest in the world. Reykjavík, Iceland Even though Reykjavík is the largest city in Iceland and its capital, it proudly wears the title of the cleanest city in the country. With annual PM2.5 levels at 1.9 µg/m³, it shouldn’t be a surprise that it concentrates on using more alternative energy sources. Launceston, Australia Launceston, a city in the north of Tasmania is another area with the least air pollution. Annual levels of PM2.5 reach approximately 3.68 µg/m3 during the twelve-month period. Honolulu, Hawaii Even though the capital of Hawaii is a major tourist destination, it still has one of the cleanest air in the world in 2022. Measurements show that the level of PM2.5 in this area is around 4.04 µg / m3 per year, which is an excellent result. Bergen, Norway The colourful town of Bergen is another one of the cities with the best air quality in the world. Its PM2.5 levels are measured at around 4.39 µg/m3 per year, making it a perfect place not only for residents but any visitors. Wollongong, Australia This Australian coastal city offers not only breathtaking views, but clean air as well. With annual levels of PM2.5 at around 4.51 µg/m3, it’s high on the list of the least polluted cities in the world. Trondheim, Norway Trondheim is another proud Scandinavian representative in the line-up of the least polluted cities in the world. And that’s thanks to the low levels of PM2.5, which place at around 4.77 µg/m3 per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to see West Africa suffering so badly. There are pollution problems, but industrialisation and even numbers of cars is less than asia. It seems solid fuel for cooking - open fires/charcoal/coal - are bad, high sulphur content diesel, farming methods including burning and major polluter Nigeria being nearby are all factors.

Well that is a good point. The Harmattan blowing south to west africa and gibli north to Libya and Tunisia. But those are seasonal and i don't recall much apart from feeling a bit sand blasted especially in the north. But i was always near the sea and my lungs were more youthful in those days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly mate....Hence the worse pollution in the West rather than the North....I worked for Ghana Telecomm for 2 years and it was obvious when the seasonal winds were in town.
