I unfortunately live in a very polluted area, one where air quality apps mark in red and recommend that I never get out of my lair.
When it rains enough the air quality becomes more bearable and here comes the question: where does pollution go when it rains hard? Does it get pushed to the ground and stays there? Does it get embedded in the water (so instead of breathing it, I get to drink it later in the tap water)?
I’m curious to know where it gets dispersed or stuck (to possibly avoid it)
Ah, interesting. I should hope not all pollutants dissolve into water, but I wonder: wouldn’t they still be bad when ingested even if not dissolved into water?
Yes, probably. If they’re trapped in urban dirt, and you don’t snack on sod from a lane divider often you shouldn’t have to worry about it, though.
