How Clean is our Air?

Clean air by the lungful

Very clean! Benidorm's environmental bods have been studying air quality in the area and have pronounced the quality of the air that we breath to be 'excellent.'

Samples of air are collected daily and sent to the Valencian Atmospheric Control Centre where they are analysed to find the amounts of Sulphur Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxide, Ozone and Lead contained in every lungful.

Boffins there say that the air in zone ES1013, where Benidorm is situated, is 'far' from being contaminated. So now you know, you can light up your next cigarette safe in the knowledge that you're not going to blow yourself up!
