Sand dust from the Sahara is back in France and Paris this Saturday, on what promises to be an unseasonably warm day, which may well exacerbate the effects of the temperature on our bodies.
This was a decision awaited by several environmental associations. This August 4, 2021, The Council of State has fined the French State to 10 million euros for not having acted enough against air pollution.
What a sad study The Lancet issued on January 19, 2021. According to the British scientific magazine, Paris is the 4th European city with the deadliest air pollution. Every year, the French capital reports 2,500 nitrogen dioxide-related deaths.
Unlike the first lockdown during which the air pollution decreased by 70% in Paris and Ile-de-France, Airparif notices a much smaller decrease due to the road traffic during the new lockdown.
A study by the Research Center on the Energy and the Air Quality reveals the increase of the pollution in Paris is the harshest among the European metropolises.
