Air pollution broken?

[Savchik]

Comparing to the CS 1 (and some common sense) it looks like the air pollution mechanic is currently broken.

Yes, I have a massive industrial sector + a garbage recycle factory, however, air pollution coming from it influences all housing in a really long distance. All residents are constantly sick because of the air pollution and also leaving their houses super fast. I built a new residential district that is in a way of wind coming from factories across the wide river + with a "moat" of commercial buildings - nothing helped. All houses deep inside this district are sick and it's getting worse

Currently, it almost looks like one cannot build a city but in a way that one half is purely industrial, whereas the other is purely residential (by saying halfes I mean orthogonal to wind's direction and by saying cannot I mean on a really large scale).

Can anyone please guide me here? Otherwise, you know the date for the hotfix, ping me cause now it's really depressing to play in a way it's built
