DAILY ENCOUNTERS IX

These ladies are not islamic extremist, there plan is not to rob a bank, they just want to protect themselves against the extreme pollution. I assume they will know that the scarfs will not protect them against the unimaginable high concentrations of Carbon Monoxid (CO), Hydrocarbons (THC)and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)in the centre city roads , but they will have some protection against particulates. For me it is nearly schizophrenic to observe that in the European emission regulations we soon will have particulate counters (not opacity or so) real counters to measure the amount, not the mass of nano particulates from the size of a cluster of C-atoms to the size of a small bacterium (2.5 micrometer)and there will be limits for that for the homolgation test. And here the mass of emission maybe 1000 times higher and nobody protest.
