An electrostatic air filter can be installed into a central ventilation system or you can purchase a portable air filter. I too would like to see the outdoor air cleaned up. Fixing up diesel engines would be my first concern. Also, I would REALLY like to see free bus services and busses capable of carrying more bikes and luggage. The current system of busses is difficult, or at least seems difficult, to use for casual transportation. I don't use the busses except for planned trips when I can look up transfers, fares, and rules of carry-on storage.
