How cities can take control of traffic pollution

Air pollution remains the biggest environmental threat to public health in Europe, yet another invisible danger—noise pollution—affects over 100 million citizens daily. Road traffic is a major contributor to both, and while regulations exist, they often fail to capture real-world emissions from vehicles.

In this video, our project partners highlight an innovative solution: remote sensing technology that detects high-emission vehicles in real-time. This breakthrough could empower cities to take targeted action against the worst polluters. However, without EU-level regulation, this technology remains underutilized.
