The article is not long enough, and the nominator stated that they will not be expanding its prose. North America1000 13:22, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

@Georgejdorner:I have added them now. Does that work? — Ganeshk (talk) 18:43, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
Looks good now. Your reviewer will let you know if anything else is needed.Georgejdorner (talk) 21:18, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

This needs more work as there are at least three problems:

  1. List entries don't count for word count and so a DYK check just gives 646 characters. More prose in the lead would help fix this.
  2. The list focusses on particulates but there are other kinds of air pollution such as nitrogen dioxide for which London is a leading city.
  3. The hooks generalise even more by talking loosely of pollution, rather specific types of air pollution.
