Strong smell of burning plastic outside.

Fire in a plastics factory many miles away is the reason.

Thank you. The PM2.5 being monitored on our air quality monitor has shot up drastically over the last hour and I was wondering why.

Thank you for sharing! I was in the pub earlier and thought someone hadn?t put a cigarette out properly, the smell was driving me a bit mad.

Does anyone smell it again tonight? Surely no-one has lit a wood fire on an evening like tonight's. It smells like burning rubbish.

There are a lot of people with fire pits, wood burning barbecues and wood burning stoves in east dulwich, all of which are far worse for pollution, especially the most dangerous NOx and small particulates pollution that kill people and give babies asthma, than vehicle emissions.
