A personalized calculation
Enter your hours spent at home, at work, your mode of transport, your addresses and you will get for every moment of the day your exposure to nitrogen dioxide, one of the worst pollutants. This is what the site offers 24 Air which has just been launched by Airparif.
The site allows you to test new lifestyles. By simulating a new route to get to work or by changing your address or means of transport, you can get an idea of an improvement or deterioration in air quality. The site even offers advice and recommendations, in particular through actions to avoid polluting yourself..
Paris, capital of pollution
Without surprise, it is in the capital that you are most exposed to pollution. Day or night, in transport or at home, the quality of the inspired air is never or rarely in the green.
Among the means of transport, the car is obviously the one which exposes the most to pollution. The reason is simple: the passenger compartment is ventilated from the front, it receives the exhaust fumes from the car in front of you. For public transport, the bus is less polluted than the metro. If the bike is less polluting, the air you breathe is composed of 30 to 45% less pollutants when you travel on a cycle path rather than between cars, distance requires.
