All sorts of #toxic materials are released into the #atmosphere when buildings and their contents #burn. It's why one sees urban #firefighters donning breathing apparatus. #Wildlands adjacent to the Los Angeles basin also contain #mercury and #lead in #soil and litter layers, deposited over many years from #air #pollution generated by vehicles and industries. #Wildfires often emit these heavy metals.

Paris residents to vote on making 500 more streets pedestrian

"Parisians vote in a referendum on Sunday to decide whether an extra 500 of the city's streets should be pedestrianised and greened, in a new push by the French capital's left-leaning town hall to curb car usage and improve air quality."

"This is the third such referendum in Paris in as many years, following a 2023 vote that approved a ban on e-scooters, and a decision last year to triple parking charges for large SUVs.For the past 25 years we've gradually been reclaiming public space for pedestrian traffic, for gentle traffic, and with 'garden streets', to create lungs within neighbourhoods, the places where we live."

"If approved, Sunday's referendum will eliminate 10,000 extra parking spots in Paris, adding to the 10,000 removed since 2020. The capital's two million residents will be consulted on which streets will become pedestrian areas. If Parisians vote in favour of the proposal, the 500 streets to be vegetated will bring the total of these "green lungs" to nearly 700, just over one-tenth of the capital's streets."

La qualité de l' #air intérieur a-t-elle un impact sur notre #sante ?

Nous passons plus de la moitié de notre #temps dans notre #domicile

1/3

L'air intérieur est 5 à 6 fois plus pollué qu'à l'extérieur.

Causes :
-> matériaux de construction;
-> produits d'entretien;
-> équipement de chauffage;
-> #tabac
-> bougies/encens;
-> parfums d'intérieur;
-> sprays assainissants...

=> source de combustion = microparticules + dyoxide d' #azote = néfaste pour la santé.
