Madrid is planning a huge forest belt around the city to clean polluted air, absorb carbon, cool the city.

And, more importantly, to make people healthier and happier

Roughly five Americans die every hour due to exposure to toxic road vehicle pollution, a new study has found.

It’s the latest warning showing fossil-fueled transit is a major driver of mortality. @dharnanoor

There were those who doubted us, but a new independent report shows major reductions in air pollution in our city are linked to an estimated 40% fewer annual premature deaths.

#Pollution | Épisode de pollution de l’air en cours en Ille-et-Vilaine.

Dans un contexte de fortes chaleurs, les niveaux d’ozone augmentent en Ille-et-Vilaine. Pour limiter la pollution de l’air :

🛑 La vitesse est réduite de 20 km/h sur tout le réseau 2*2 du département :
↘ 110 km/h au lieu de 130 km/h (autoroute A84 de Rennes à Caen)
↘ 90 km/h au lieu de 110 km/h (voies rapides)

Les épisodes de pollution peuvent entraîner l'apparition ou l'aggravation de divers symptômes. En cas de gêne respiratoire ou cardiaque, prenez conseil auprès d'un professionnel de santé.
