The team from King's College London analysed seven popular routes through the city, with different researchers simultaneously walking along main road and backstreet routes while carrying pollution measuring equipment.
On Monday, 10 birds outfitted in miniature backpacks carrying pollution sensors and GPS trackers took to the air, and they started tweeting — via beak, perhaps, but definitely via Twitter — their devices' readings of nitrogen dioxide and ozone.
Easterly winds, carrying pollution from the continent, and dry conditions would have resulted in higher readings.
Microplastic is raining down on even remote mountaintops, a new study has revealed, with winds having the capacity to carry the pollution "anywhere and everywhere".
New York streets are filled with litter, trash constantly floats down Parisian waterways, and Los Angeles winds carry airborne pollution.
And in sharing my research with others, I was often asked to carry the pollution of the abject men I was trying to understand.
Human computation in crowdsourcing is also of interest how to get groups of people connected by a network to collect data to solve analytics problems, like reporting traffic, pointing a telescope at the sky, or carrying air pollution sensors.
High-production crop systems carry a strong pollution footprint which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and pollutes ground and surface waters [45], and new approaches to supply soil-derived nutrients efficiently to plants are being sought.
People closest to a pollution source are most affected, but because winds carry air pollutants, people far downwind can be affected, too.
