Opinion: Any #Technology can be judged by how helpful it could have been for ordinary people pre-1900s. I picked the period for the overlap of being after the Industrial Revolution, but before Henry Ford drowned us in cars. Any technology of minimal or no help to people back then can be challenged.

Good read. #AirQuality is a multi-faceted problem. Namely that new 2.5 micron Particulate Matter can form from gaseous pollutants like SOx, NOx & ammonia emissions. Also, the problem has to be tackled at the regional level, because air pollutants emitted from far away can still become your problem.
