Would you believe it if I told you that Bucharest has more dust than any other European capital. Would that explain why there is such a need to water the streets each morning? Or perhaps why right after you dust, there is a nice layer coating everything? As I am sure you can imagine there are other impacts of this excessive level of dust as well! Oh for clean air:)
Excerpt from article in Bucharest Daily News:
Bucharest has ten times more dust than other European capitals
There is ten times more dust in Bucharest than in any other European capital and the main cause is the disappearance of green areas in the capital in the last 16 years, according to the vice president of the Environment Experts Association, Florin Vasiliu yesterday."The amount of dust in Bucharest reaches 260-280 tons per square kilometer. This cannot be found in any European capital, where the average amount is less than 20 tons per square kilometer," Vasiliu said.
