content: What difference does it make if there is a coal-fired power plant nearby? The outdoor air he breathes is still by definition, fresh Australian air. People in Beijing breathe fresh Chinese air every day (unless they are paying for stale Australian air in those old cans).

content: Of course there is no such thing as "stale air" like a stale cracker. Rooms that have not been properly aired become musty-smelling from the excretions of organisms, both micro and macroscopic. In recent years, they also amass plastic and glue byproducts that evaporate from synthetic materials.I suppose that air from cans may lack the "freshness" of outdoor air, but much of that is the smell of ozone.
