After all, at the beginning of June 2020, the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) received positive news: The risk of new diesel driving bans has decreased. According to the official analysis of the air measurement data in the federal states, only in 25 cities throughout the federal territory of neuralgic value of 40 micrograms nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exceeded. In the previous year it was 57. Because of the many bad values, the German Environmental Aid (DUH) had initiated various proceedings, due to which several driving bans were imposed.
The reason for the positive trend: The measures adopted at the Diesel Summit years ago Improve air quality as well as the Clean air plans of the municipalities showed an effect in many places. In addition, the President of the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) retained Dirk Messner with his forecast for the year 2020 right: Another Decrease in NO2 pollution occurred last year.
