Air quality on cruise ship deck 'worse than world's most polluted cities', investigation finds | The Independent

Air quality on cruise ship deck 'worse than world's most polluted cities', investigation finds | The Independent:

Directly next to the funnels on the deck, the numbers rocketed to 144,000 with a peak at 226,000. 

This is more than double the average found in central London's Piccadilly Circus, where using the same device, the Dispatches team recorded 38,400 ultra-fine particulates per cubic centimetre. 
While the deck is popular with sun-bathers, passengers are likely to be breathing some of these particulates, which are harmful for health and the environment.
