The Cyprus cabinet today approved a bill intended to reduce atmospheric pollutants. Interesting timing as had only this morning been asking J if he also thought the air looked a bit thick over Makarios Avenue. Having eliminated the obvious possibilities - the balcony window could be cleaner and my glasses are chronically in a condition that obstructs rather than enhances vision - it still seems a little dim. Resort to Plume pollution report, which confirms a level of pollution they assess as poor. Most of today’s pollution is down to particulate matter. Ozone and nitrous oxide are low, so one suspects that the government efforts may not be related to today’s cause. And wind borne Saharan dust, which is sometimes the culprit, doesn’t seem to be - or one assumes it would be hitting Limassol and Paphos as well. By evening pollution level significantly lower. Not particularly helpfully, suggestion to avoid taking part in outdoor sports has ended.
