The results were a 23.8% reduction in PM2.5, and a 30% reduction in carbon monoxide, resulting in some 320,000 fewer deaths from air pollution.
I hope to see this happen in my area. The kind of emissions I’m stuck having to breathe in, especially while I’m walking on a sidewalk next to a main road, is awful. Unfortunately, it’s going to take much longer for the switch to happen here.
