Pro member Publish Not your original work? Add source Despite decades of campaigning and policy change, air pollution is still worsening for more than half the world's population. You might not notice the worsening effect in your daily, hometown life. But when you travel, the sight of industrial smog has a sobering effect. As part of their mission to draw attention to the quality of the air you breathe, HouseFresh wanted to show you how 10 famous views could look if local human-made air pollution levels increase. The team found iconic photos of the views and, on each one, emulated the visual effect that air pollution has on the skyline of Ghaziabad, India, frequently ranked as the "most polluted city worldwide."

View more comments HouseFresh curated a list of the most beautiful city views around the world, pulling examples from articles from Insider, RTE, and The Times. According to them, "when the first 2020 lockdown struck, a bonus was the drop in air pollution. The view through our windows seemed freshly polished. Tourist attractions shone with an intensity unseen for decades. Environmentalists keenly told us that this was a wake-up call, not a turning point". However, this was only temporary. #2Montparnasse Tower Paris France

View more comments The pictures show how the views in each city might look if pollution levels reached that of Ghaziabad, India, the second most polluted city in the world. The most polluted city in the world is Hotan, China, which reports air pollution predominantly as a result of desert dust storms rather than man-made pollution, which is why the ream chose the second-most polluted city. #3Kerry Park Seattle USA

I remember PE classes having to be held inside instead of outside on those days. That was back when cars still ran on leaded gas too. That means my generation, and the generations before that breathed while cars spewed lead in their exhaust, have traces of lead in our lungs that post-catalytic converter generations won’t. We’ve done a good job of cleaning our air, but it’s been a drop in the bucket compared to what we actually have to do—-and should’ve started doing long before my 1973 trip to NYC. 1 1point reply Load More Comments POST LoveLive Laugh LoveLive Laugh Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 months ago All the pictures with the air pollution look the same. 11 11points reply howdylee howdylee Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 months ago "View recreated with air pollution level experienced in Ghaziabad, India."

Definitely a filter though, the cloud formation is the same in both pics on the first one 2 2points reply howdylee howdylee Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 months ago I feel bad for the people in India that have to live with that level of pollution. But these other cities must have implemented restrictions so that their cities don't end up with pollution like that. Time to put the pressure on the Indian Government to fix it. Let's clean up the world, not lower everyone else. 2 2points reply Aman Varkkey Aman Varkkey Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 months ago You are asking for a developing nation to make infrastructure. Do you think normal people in India can afford EVs and charging stations. Putting pressure won't do a thing because the products made by countries like China and India are not even used by them. The ones who are using them are the same ones who lecture them. 3 3points reply Load More Replies...

Problem is, most people want it to be established in market, before they can buy themselves. No one would spend 5 months salary on something experimental. Petrol based vehicles are established - you get replacement parts easily, mechanics easily. Recently, there have been reports of EV scooters catching fire, so research is on if EVs are safe in hot countries like India. Besides, if the source of electric power is a coal plant, EV still would pollute. 0 0points reply Display Name Display Name Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 months ago (edited) This is not the usual amount of pollution. This happens because of stubble burning practice in certain states and during Winter time, smoke+fog=smog. Government of India recently tried to ban the practice of stubble burning by fining farmers and making it an offense, but there was a massive backlash that resulted in severe rioting, murder, highway blockades by "protestors". Ironically, climate champion Greta Thunberg, Justin hypocrite Trudeau, Rihanna, Trevor Noah, Susan Sarandon, Piper Perabo all supported these "protestors". Government had to repeal laws which had one of the clause that would have controlled this. Greta Thunberg, Justin hypocrite Trudeau, Rihanna, Trevor Noah, Susan Sarandon, Piper Perabo will continue to live a blissfully ignorant happy life, while stubble burning continues and will continue to choke regions around Delhi and world will continue to mock us for pollution. 0 0points reply Kathryn Baylis Kathryn Baylis Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 6 months ago (edited) When I was about 13, in 1973, my parents and I went on a trip to NYC. I actually still have the picture I took of the Statue of Liberty shrouded in a kind of brownish-gray smog. That smog, which smelled as bad as it looked, is the one memory of that trip that has stayed with me for almost 50 years. Then, in 1974, we moved to Los Angeles, where the local morning news would give the smog report, and list who could go outside (generally children and old folks) and who should not. I remember PE classes having to be held inside instead of outside on those days. That was back when cars still ran on leaded gas too. That means my generation, and the generations before that breathed while cars spewed lead in their exhaust, have traces of lead in our lungs that post-catalytic converter generations won’t.
