"A new tool shows how much air quality has changed since the Industrial
Revolution in cities across the world. It generates a single image made up of
different colored stripes representing pollution each year in each major city.
You can see stark contrasts from place to place, showing how much work is left
to do to clean up pollution and also how well those efforts can pay off in the
long run. Air pollution has fallen sharply in wealthy Western nations but is
still a serious health risk in many places around the world.
“Air pollution is often called the ‘invisible killer,’ but these images make
the invisible visible,” Kirsty Pringle, a codirector of the project who is
based at the University of Edinburgh, said in a press release."
