We must not loose focus by thinking reduced NOx resolves the health risk. http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2813%2962158-3/abstract The long and short of this study is that "long-term exposure to fine particulate air pollution was associated with natural-cause mortality, even within concentration ranges well below the present European annual mean limit value." NB "well below". The EU are about to lower limits generally. Hopefully, they will have considered the results of this huge study (over 300,000 people) before setting them. |
