Well, but still during the eighties most of the houses in my area burned brown coal in crude ovens to heat their homes, the cars spit out blue, only half-burned lead-enriched and carbohydrate-tasting exhaust in huge amounts, while the surrounding forests were dying because of all the unfiltered sulphuric acid the power plants emitted.
During winter, we often had dense smog in the valley, heavily tasting like a mixture of wood smoke and burnt rubber and triggering frequent coughing.
And just staying in the inside also wasn’t that great of an option, as constant cigarette smoke was a given everywhere.
If I had to name one thing that definitely has gotten better by an insane amount, it would the air quality.
