On the occasion of the Setmana de la Ciència, a round table was organized on Saturday, 16th November, in the CID Sala d'Actes.
A good part of the European population lives in urban areas, especially cities and large cities, where air quality levels are exceeded. The AIRUSE project, led by Xavier Querol (IDAEA), and awarded in Europe in 2018, proposes six recommendations to improve the air quality of cities in southern Europe. On the other hand, Barcelona will launch on 1st January 2020, the Low Emission Zone (ZBE) and from April will begin to impose fines on the most polluting vehicles that circulate in this restricted area.
