It’s going to be a very interesting 15 years!

Attended a conference last week in London and there was a talk by Dyson. They’ve done a project with local schools in London where the kids wore the air quality sensors in their backpack. It was a very interesting bit of research!


The chemicals the kids were exposed to was crazy. They concluded that 31% of kids changed their method of how to get to school.

I just want to get hold of the data - could you imagine pairing that data with GPS, traffic light data, weather etc. Lol that’s me being sad

There's one issue I can see with the measurement method.
It's a device that's measuring air quality at a fixed rate of exposure. That means that exposure is only calculated as a function of exposure time with no correlation to actual volume of air inhaled and exhaled.
By that measure walking will always be worse than cycling as the length of exposure time is greater even though a cyclist may actually inhale the same amount of air due to more strenuous activity.

Too many people concerntrated in a small area that's the problem. You don't need a high tech Nox sensor to tell you that.

Funny how 5G is being allowed in UK with no mention of health concerns when some countries like Switzerland have just "banned" it because of health issues.

The technocrats will not be happy.

Roll it out and test it on the unsuspecting public, DuPont, Monsanto, ICI, Chemicals and GM products, Swine Fever, Scrapie and MCD possibly Avian Flu inflicted upon us by our Food Scientists, Microsoft et-al selling Beta versions in the 80-90's, Auto manufacturer's falsifying emissions data then expecting current owners 7+ Years later to fund their ongoing R&D programmes, will it ever end? I don't think so, it's enough to turn everyone into a Conspiracy Theorist. Now then, where's my foil hat? :geek:

I got there shortly after hearing he was there but when I arrived was told he'd left the building.
I think you might be fibbing...:rolleyes:
