IF YOU’RE HIKING in Los Angeles, your naked eye can’t really tell the difference between pollution and run-of-the-mill fog. Nor can you measure the levels of particulate¹ matter or nitrogen oxide² without special equipment.

如果你在洛杉矶徒步旅行，单凭肉眼根本不能区分空气污染和稀疏寻常的雾气。没有特殊的仪器，你既不能测量颗粒物分子的程度，也无法感知一氧化氮的浓度。

Wearables may someday come equipped with the technology to detail the toxins³ in the atmosphere around you. Until then, you can wear these funky⁴, analog⁵ accessories thatvisualize air pollution data.

可穿戴设备某天也许能配备科技，将你身边大气中的有害物质呈现出来。那时的你便能戴着这些类似饰品的设备，扮相时髦还能看到空气污染的数据。

Stefanie Posavec and Miriam Quick, a pair of London data artists, have designed a collection of necklaces and sunglasses that make varying levels of pollution tangible⁶. Instead of making the jewelry⁷ overtly⁸ political, like the beaded equivalent of a “Vote for Bernie Sanders” pin, Posavec and Quick’s Air Transformed spur you to action—by making you physically⁹ uncomfortable. “We wanted to communicate the burden of pollution on the body,” Posavec says.

斯蒂芬妮·波萨维奇和米里亚姆·奎克是伦敦的两位数据艺术家。他们设计出了一套项链和眼镜，使波动的空气污染级数能被感知。这套珠状饰品并不过于政治化，不像“力挺伯尼·桑德斯”(竞选2016年美国总统的一位联邦参议院，政治观点属极左派，以言论直白犀利闻名)的胸针，波萨维奇和奎克设计的Air Transformed通过使人感受到身体上的不适，激发人采取行动。波萨维奇称：“我们想要让人肉体上感受到污染物的负荷。“
