   millions of people just had10 days of  air that approached the warning   
   levels for quality  in the Philly area  which is the worse level (and   
   suburbs) and could not leave the area unless they moved or traveled far   
   distances. With smokers you can choose to walk away a few yards . My ideas   
   from three years ago was that air was not getting better as we were told but   
   worse. I didn't really know how to measure how worse at the time the air was   
   years ago, as my only goal at the time was to report back from what I was   
   seeing around me. Little by little I saw the links that proved what I was   
   saying was correct. So matter how much you love Philly/ Maryland and some   
   places in New Jeresey/ your family might be suffering the consequences from   
   bad air and a news media that ignores it. Why people do what they do , is   
   one of my goals in bringing up this topic, and not necessarily to invoke a   
   better alternative for myself by playing out this rather sad scenario over   
   and over again. There might and I said might be some better readings in   
   Philly compared to years ago but the most important ingredient: particulates   
   are at all time highs. As little as two years ago we were unfortunate enough   
   to have at worst 5 days total for worst air quality. Now we just had   
   practically 10 in a row and its not even summer. If the gauge hit the   
   warning level at 42 degrees where do you think your families threshold will   
   be in summer for suffering the consequences especially over time. When your   
   gorgeous daughter or wife gets cancer or lung disease will living in Philly   
   been worth it knowing you decided to ignore all this?
