What can we do about vehicle-related air pollution? 🚗 Vehicles, especially those powered by diesel engines, emit nitrogen oxides (NOx). NOx gases contribute to ground-level ozone, a key component of smog, which can trigger a variety of health problems, including asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory issues. 🫁 Urban areas, where vehicle density is high, often suffer the most from vehicle-related air pollution. Vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions, are at higher risk from air pollution-related health issues. 🌆 Nick Molden, founder and CEO of Emissions Analytics, is promoting public awareness around the issue of automotive emissions. An Honorary Research Fellow at Imperial College London, he is recognized for his expertise in vehicle emissions testing and has significantly contributed to the understanding of real-world emissions data. With more rigorous testing and standards, we can ensure a healthy planet for all. 🌎 What do you think of this solution?
