Swiss study finds that studies on air pollution that ignore impact of noise overestimate effects of pollution on heart attacks

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 26, 2018

The study looked at the combined effects of air pollution and transportation noise for heart attack mortality, by considering all deaths that occurred in Switzerland between 2000 and 2008. The study included all deaths (19,261) reported across Switzerland from the period 2000 to 2008.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2018

A new study by MIT researchers, published this month in Atmospheric Environment , finds that in Europe, 10 major auto manufacturers produced diesel cars, sold between 2000 and 2015, that generate up to 16 times more NO x emissions on the road than in regulatory tests—a level that exceeds European limits but does not violate any EU laws.
