- Scientists found the cleanest air on Earth, and it’s far away from any human activity.
- Researchers sampled air over the Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica, finding it to be free of traces of human chemicals or waste.
- The remote location contributes to the air remaining clean for as long as it has.
You might think that stepping out of your front door every morning and swallowing a couple of lungfuls of fresh morning air is just about as good as it can get — especially during the pandemic. Sure, it’s refreshing, but according to scientists from Colorado State University, the cleanest air on Earth is nowhere near your house or any area where humans have settled down.
The research, which was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals that the Southern Ocean around Antarctica is really where it’s at if you want some seriously fresh air. Thanks to some quirks of the global climate and weather patterns, the clouds over the Southern Ocean are pristine.
