REDUCTION IN AIR POLLUTION HAS TO COME FROM TRAFFIC IN PARTICULAR

TERUGDRINGEN VAN LUCHTVERONTREINIGING MOET VOORAL VAN VERKEER KOMEN

Automobile traffic makes a large contribution to air pollution in the Netherlands. For some chemicals the contribution is increasing. Not only the outside environment is influenced by automobile traffic, but also the inside environment of cars is polluted by their own exhaust fumes and that of other cars. At the Institute for Environmental and Health Technique of TNO, research has started into the chemicals, which occur in our living environment via exhaust fumes. The reduction of air pollution should come by the automobile traffic itself. The limiting of speed, the decrease of lead and benzene admixtures, and the reduction of exhaust nitrogen-oxide are discussed. (TRRL)
