“The concentration of cocaine in Rome’s atmosphere was only 0.1 nanogrammes (1 nanogramme is one billionth of a gramme) per cubic metre at its height during winter months, the researchers said. But the conclusions were worrying for public health.”

Sounds like a lot of hype to me; the EPA MDL (minimum detection limit) is set at one nanogram per cubic meter and this guy is going around getting readings of marijuana and cocaine at 1/10 that?

What sort of reliability does his magic tester have?

Don’t go to the cities unless you wanted to be herded like cattle. Go to Calabria or Tuscany.

“...Go to Calabria or Tuscany.”

Thanks, I’ll remember that next time I go to Italy (next April).

Yes, how could I forget! In addition to being nasty, they are very aggressive! Gross!

Now if you want a nice Italian girl, go shopping in a nice (expensive) store. I met quite a few lovely salesgirls.
