Smog Days

Have we had a smog day yet this year? I seem to recall that we had 27 smog days a couple of years ago. Does smog have an obvious effect on your life?

We have not had any smog days this year. I live in the heart of downtown Toronto (Yorkville area) and you can certainly feel the difference as compared to going up north and breathing in some fresh air. On the bad days, I tend to stay inside as much as possible. I love the heat but the smog I can do without.

Usually smog days happen when we're in a "heat wave" so yes it has an effect on my life. I'm outside as much as possible on those days enjoying the few weeks of nice hot weather we get each year! Hopefully it's coming soon.

It is July 6, 2009 and we have not had one smog day this year.

If you do have a breathing condition that is affected by smog, or have allergies, send me a PM.

I'm pretty sure that 99.9% of you folks don't give a damn but we might get away with only one smog day this Summer. Wonder of that is a record? If it is, it is the kind of record we like.

We haven't had a summer.

It's been cold, and wet, record rainfall?

Worst Summer I can remember. I thought last year was terrible. This summer was worse.

No, I'd guess the record would be 0 days set back before we had lots of cars and industry going.

Sorry Kirk.. With the exception of your opinion on the Island Airport, I think I agree with everything I've ever read from you but I have to disagree again.

This is without doubt, the BEST summer I can remember.. It's been warm but not uncomfortably hot so the air quality has been much better than normal.
I walk my dog a lot and I can count on one hand the number of times in it's been unpleasant to do so.. last year it was the norm.

It has rained a bit in bouts but not as much as people seem to think. I think all summer only on 3 occasions have to had to towel my dog down when I got home. An amazingly low number.

Give me summers like this every year please!

So, no "dog days of Summer" with their long tongues dragging on the pavement .
