3 nuclear melt downs in Fukushima Japan have been dumping radioactive waste into the Pacific since Spring of 2011 and will continue to do so until all the nuclear fuel that has melted through containment and is now “somewhere” underground is washed into the ocean. The legal limit for radiation in food has been adjusted upwards in Japan and, ahem “other nations.”
That NPP nuclear accident that released plutonium in the US that no one needs to talk about now?
That announced nuclear emergency in Europe that has gone radio silent. I suspect if governments didn’t have the power to black out information about their failures, we wouldn’t be bragging about how clean the environment is.

Not in my neck of the woods. I used to be able to clearly see the nearby hills. In recent years, there’s been a pollution haze.

My eyes aren't what they used to be either.

Exactly! China and India are the largest contributors. Funny how the enviro-nuts don't take up their protests over there.

Lots of maps out there give real values of how much countries are outputting (India doesn't seem to report so much). Also, Malta? http://aqicn.org/map/world/

I’ve got to believe there is something very wrong with the Malta numbers. My son and daughter-in-law toured Malta as part of a Mediterranean cruise last year and Malta was their favorite layover. It is such a small island/country I can’t believe it generated such a lousy report.

haha surprised me too! I agree and assume it is just a false number in there.
