Thinking about it, I have to wonder a bit - how are they taking this data? And where? Because if the air quality in Tokyo is anything like the air quality in Nagoya - there are areas with great crystal clear air, and areas with an abundance of factories that aren`t that great. It varies a LOT with location.
If they are only taking a few samples around the city and averaging them - or (doubtful) taking a single sample somewhere... Then things could look drastically worse or better than reality.
I know the air in my little town is very very clean, as they test the crap out of it every single week or so. There is a trash incinerator nearby, and the deal with the city is that they`ll only allow it to be here if there is NO increase in pollution. This serious testing by the town has had the effect of making everywhere else around be conscious of their pollution... And the air is great at this point.
