Subway Danger

[Dude_Doc]

As you may know, many things can cause damage to the health of our bodies. Smoking, drinking, even eating toasted bread. But now, it seems that the subway is "dangerous" too. A local newspaper wrote an article about this, here is the link (in Swedish):

Basically, it says that tiny metallic particles, that are released when the subway is stopping at a station (from the rails and the breaks of the subway), can damage the body's DNA. These particles travel by air and protection is impossible. Further, the study showed that, in comparison, the air in the subway contains 80 times more pollution than the most polluted street in Stockholm (which is Hornsgatan). Basically (according to the scientists), spending 20 minutes in the subway equals 24 hours on the most polluted street.

Now, if Stockholm is this dangerous, imagine places like Hong Kong or New York.

And we in Bratislava try for 20 years to build one line of it...

The London Underground isn't too nice either. At least in New York they have plenty of ventilation which comes up directly through the streets.

Is that where the smell is coming from?! I thought it was from the sewer mutants....

In Amsterdam the pollution wouldn't be a problem. Since the biggest part of the subway track lies... above ground!
