With many European cities struggling to meet the air quality limits recommended by the World Health Organisation or the ones set out in the regulation, measures to reduce air pollution in urban areas are a central part of the sustainable mobility transition. These efforts are often not limited to air pollution, but often have positive effects on CO2 emissions and noise levels. In this context, it is key to take a closer look at the solutions available to identify and quantify the mobility-related pollution sources, in order to tackle them properly.
In this Mobility Talks, experts and practitioners will exchange on the available innovations and measures that can help us reduce mobility-related air and noise pollution, and will consider their effects on citizens’ health and quality of life.
