Public authorities fight air pollution

• European conutries are taking measures to limit certain pollutants, such as a standard on gaseous emissions for vehicles or stricter thresholds for industrial emissions.

• In the regions too, measures are increasingly being taken! For example, the air qualitymust be taken into account in urban and territorial planning: creation of green space, planning of transport infrastructures, siting of buildings to minimise the exposure of occupants to the most polluted air.

• During pollution peaks, prefectures and local authorities take initiatives, such as alternating traffic, speed limits, reduction of fares for using public transport, ban on the burning of agricultural waste, etc.

• The introduction of vignettes to obtain one's air quality certificate is also being introduced. You can find all this information about the stickers directly on www.certificat-air.gouv.fr.
