Air pollution in Dutch cities is inadmissible. In many Dutch cities, this concentration of soot particles is higher in the outdoor air of our cities than in workplaces using diesel fumes. In these workplaces, workers may be exposed to a maximum of 1 microgram of soot particles per cubic metre. This concludes Environmental Defence on the basis of a survey by the Health Council.
So what is unacceptable in the workplace and should in principle be banned is the daily practice in our outdoor air. outdoor air in which we work, grow up, play, cycle and age.
Environmental defense launched a lawsuit against the State in 2016 to demand that many more measures be taken to tackle air pollution. in the appeal of this case.
Environmental Defence hopes for a positive decision, which will incite the policy to work on healthy air.
