New study about the air in big city subway systems should diffuse EPA-funded research
“[In Texas] … the air is nothing but air. You can feel the air in New York. It’s got character” — Tony Randall to Rock Hudson in “Pillow Talk.”
A new study about the air in big city subway systems, including New York City’s, sheds some light about the nature of the dirtiest part of urban air. More importantly the study should go a long way to diffusing the coming Biden war against fossil fuels.
The study unsurprisingly reports that the air quality in subway stations and on subway trains is awful. That may not be news, but how awful it is should be.
In the PATH subway system between New York and New Jersey, for example, the average level of soot and dust particles (called PM2.5) in subway stations was measured at 65 times higher than the level permitted in outdoor air by EPA.
