THE SPEED LIMIT ON MAJOR ROADS HAS BEEN REDUCED. PEOPLE ARE ADVISED TO LIMIT TIME OUTDOORS IF IN A VULNERABLE GROUP. THE BURNING OF GARDEN WASTE IS ALSO BANNED IN ONE DEPARTMENT Three
departments in southern France have put speed limit measures in place on roads today (Monday, February 13) in a bid to cut down on fine pollution particles. Bouches-du-Rhône, Vaucluse and
Pyrénées-Atlantiques announced a 20% drop in speed limits on major roads. They report that this is due to vehicle fumes, the use of wood fired heating systems and a lack of wind to disperse
pollution. Pyrénées-Atlantiques has also banned the burning of garden waste. Air quality agency AtmoSud placed Bouches-du-Rhône and Vaucluse on ‘alert level 1’ for pollution and said this
was due to the accumulation of particles and the absence of wind (therefore limited dispersion). It said that weather conditions would remain similar until tomorrow, causing an “accumulation
of pollutants and high levels of fine particles, causing a high risk”. Authorities advise: * Avoid strenuous physical activity or exercise outside * Air out, or circulate air, at least 10
minutes per day in enclosed spaces * Use car-sharing where possible * Use public transport and non-polluting forms of transport where possible Vulnerable people are especially advised to
keep outdoor outings short and to avoid high-traffic zones at peak hours. Farmers are also asked to delay the spreading of mineral and organic fertilisers. It comes just three days after the
cities of Lyon and Paris imposed similar measures due to ‘winter fine particles’, worsened by road traffic, lack of wind, and wood burning stove use. READ MORE: A GUIDE TO CRIT’AIR STICKERS

affected zones. Many cities across the country also have increasing restrictions in place related to the level of pollution a vehicle emits, based on the Crit’Air rating system. RELATED
