Air pollution is the worst single environmental health problem in the world, here’s a guide of six simple measures that government can take to reduce the burden starting
today.
1. Reduce Traffic By Promoting Walking & Cycling:
Making the city more accessible for cyclists and pedestrians is the most effective way of incentivising walking and cycling and discouraging car use.
2. Eliminate Polluting Vehicles With Limited Access Zones:
The concentration of polluting vehicles all in one place rapidly deteriorates air quality, and it is these concentrations of emissions that is truly problematic for health. Limited Access Zones in cities have been successful tools in reducing both congestion and pollution.
3. Establish A Construction Industry That Respects Air Quality :
A clean construction industry is a key aspect of improving air quality in cities, both in the energy efficiency of new buildings as well as the process of construction itself.
4. Stop Building Roads:
Road building has been historically employed by cities to fight congestion and add capacity. As with many other historical phenomena, road building with this purpose continues to repeat itself today.
5. Retrofit Polluting Vehicles :
Nowadays many new vehicle models are being developed to run on cleaner fuels or as hybrids, but a significant proportion of global cities’ traffic runs on old polluting engines that are much more damaging to air quality than their modern counterparts.
6. Green The City:
Maintaining and increasing green spaces in the city cannot be a solution in isolation for air pollution reduction, but planting can enhance air quality and help urban areas become resource efficient.
