less than 3 health penalty from pollution possible?

It’s my air pollution that’s left over, and I can’t imagine how to reduce more after scrubbing all exhaust and switching all vehicles and ships to H2.
I mean, there are buildings like the scrubber that can’t work without pollution, so is this the minimum?

I mean, if you pause everything that causes pollution, it would fall off further.
But yes, I imagine that's about it.

No, you will always have some air pollution.

Even if you delete everything and go back to living in caves, you still have to pay some minimal maintenance. That costs mechanical parts, that means smelting, that means exhaust.

You cant trade for mechanical parts to avoid this.

Well a little air pollution is okay.

Can't you dump CO2 into Limestone?

Yes, but you'll never actually do that because it's much easier to turn it into graphite for your arc furnaces, and you'll need more graphite than you get co2 to make it.

Exhaust scrubbers still release air pollution, so you can't ever eliminate it entirely.

Yeah it’s not the co2 causing the pollution, it’s the scrubber itself polluting <.<
