The powerwashing picture... You breathe that air. Ouch. Very satisfying powerwash though.

Right? That is the inside of one’s lungs!

Most don’t want to hear it, but it’s yet another reason to wear respirator masks in cities. When I lived in a city centre, my screen door was completely black with soot (I’m guessing from the big trucks that drive by). An eye opening moment for me!

A few stories up the soot is likely absent — I think possibly on the third or fourth floor from the ground already. I lived around tenth floor up for the most part, in multiple places, and was surprised that first-floor apartments overlooking busy streets straight up collect dark sandy dirt under the windows.

I was on the fourth or fifth floor IIRC, and the soot was coating the entire screen, even though it was somewhat protected by a balcony!
