The two most harmful and abundant air pollutants in Barcelona are nitrogen dioxide (NO2), an irritant gas that attacks the lungs and is mostly produced by internal combustion engines, and suspended particulates under 10 microns in diameter (PM10), which are especially harmful to the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.These pollutants are produced in combustion processes, driving and braking of vehicles, as well as in construction work, among others.
Since 2016 Barcelona City Council, AMB, as well as local organizations and businesses such as Climate Infrastructure, in order to combat high pollution episodes and to protect people’s health, 25 structural measures and 58 actions have been undertaken.
In order to combat pollution, we all have to get involved: public administrations, organisations, companies, citizens.. YOU!. Are you up for the challenge? It is about your health. It is about the health of future generations.
