NYC subways have ‘alarmingly high’ pollution levels, study finds

How many people use subways to get to work, daily, and get poisoned. Yet another reason not to work or to work from home. https://nypost.com/2023/05/13/subway-has-alarmingly-high-pollution-levels-study-finds/ Scientists have found “alarmingly high” concentrations of potentially toxic particles in the air in New York City subway stations. New York University researchers surveyed 271 platforms in December 2021 and found levels of airborne iron particles were a staggering 126 times more than the outdoor average, according to a paper published last month in the International Atmospheric Pollution Research journal. One study shows iron, which makes up the bulk of the air pollution on the subway, can be neurotoxic if inhaled and is linked to autism, schizophrenia, and ADHD.
