Pollution

13 Replies

Just in case anyone has not heard the news this morning. Warning of air pollution for Thursday 17th December 2015. Seems it is only for one day and will not cover the whole of the U.K.

Thanks for the warning...the BLF have posted some tips too.

It seems us in the North East Midlands will have a high pollution level.....does the Sahara dust wait til it gets here before dumping itself!

Looks like I will be staying in tomorrow, and it's a good thing my car is already dirty.

Looks like l am in for a fun Christmas if l've picked up their germs.

heh heh...you are so funny - dogs are lovely - they keep on giving.....

Went outside a while ago and - although we were told the pollution wouldn't extend this far to the north west, I could definitely feel a tightening.

We are yellow number 4 on the pollution level. But my breathing has been getting worse for the last 4 days

in reply toOffcut

I am sorry. It is very likely that this stuff has been steadily getting moved about in the atmosphere, and today they just expect it to be the worst - it says it should have gone by tomorrow, but your body knows best I think.

I hope you are able to stay indoors and will be feeling much better by tomorrow.

Hope you have a Happy Christmas.
