"The 2018 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) finds that air quality is the leading environmental threat to public health. Now in its twentieth year, the biennial report is produced by researchers at Yale and Columbia Universities in collaboration with the World Economic Forum. The tenth EPI report ranks 180 countries on 24 performance indicators across 10 issue categories covering environmental health and ecosystem vitality. Switzerland leads the world in sustainability, followed by France, Denmark, Malta, and Sweden…." Main page link Amicalement Armand |

Lol. I love these "scientific" reports: "Switzerland tops the report while India falls to the bottom tier" However … which countries really have the most people actually exposed to the high level pollution? Besides, some of those high density countries will never report their true figures, so the entire air quality burden falls on the manufacturers of the more honest ones (those in "the West"). link And why did they stop: link link So, are these reporting entities simply too dense or myopic to notice what's going on with these reports, or are the actually in league with those who are doing this detrimental manipulation of information?

Besides, some of those high density countries will never report their true figures…… Dan, how do you know these EPI studies only rely on the countries self-reporting for their data? link |

So are these monitoring stations going around the country hidden on the back of hay wagons? Or disguised as animatronic water buffalo perhaps? Dan |
