With the heat wave, Laurent Nuñez still hardens a little more measurements on travel by car to cope with an episode of persistent ozone pollution. The prefect of police announced Monday establishing traffic restrictions this Tuesday in Île-de-France.
Between 5:30 am and midnight, only the least polluting vehicles, equipped with a Crit’Air class 0, 1 and 2 vignette, will be allowed to circulate inside the perimeter delimited by the A86 motorway, in Paris and in a part of the small crown departments. In addition, as Monday, the maximum authorized speeds are lowered by 20 km/h. There will also be an obligation to circumvent by the Ile -de -France ring road for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes.
Persistence of the pollution episode
Airparif, an association which monitors air quality in Île-de-France, provides for a persistence of the pollution episode, underlines the prefecture, according to which it, which has lasted since Monday, “can constitute a risk to health”.
In addition, the police prefecture adds that burns in the open air will be prohibited, as well as the generators necessary for the tests or the maintenance of the equipment. It calls to report the maintenance or cleaning work issuers of volatile organic compounds (solvents, varnishes, glues, paintings, etc.).
Our dossier on the heat wave
Sixteen departments, including the Paris Basin, will go from orange vigilance to red on Tuesday, Météo-France announced, and 68 will remain on orange vigilance. In Île-de-France, it is the first time in five years that maximum vigilance has been activated.
