Just how polluted is it in, say, Iraq? Well, as someone who has spent more time there than my lungs are comfortable with, a lot. But such anecdotal evidence isn't really that scientifically interesting.
全球各地的污染到底有多严重呢？或者比如说伊拉克？好，也许有些人在那儿待了很长的时间并且过的很舒适，然而这样的像秩事一样的证据却不是科学真正感兴趣的。
For years it's been tough to measure particulate pollution in places where there aren't ground based sensors, and satellites haven't been able to pick up small particulate matter (really small stuff that can bypass your body's defenses and lodge in your lungs). But now some researchers have combined satellite data and have produced this map of particulate pollution from 2001-2006 across the world
多年来，许多地区没有基于地面摇感器或者卫星不能获得微粒物质数据，而对这些地区的微粒污染的测量一直是一件棘手的事。（事实上微粒可以绕过你身体的防御系统然后寄宿在你的肺里）但是现在一些研究者结合卫星数据成功地绘制出了这幅从2001年至2006年全球微粒污染的地图！
And yep, Iraq is really polluted.
看看吧！伊拉克的的确确是受污染了啊！
