Reuters: The European Union late on Monday agreed a compromise deal to enforce stricter rules on carbon dioxide emissions for all new EU automobiles from 2020. The outline agreement on implementing a target of 95 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer (g/km) still needs the official endorsement of EU member states. German efforts to ensure that its luxury car makers, such as BMW and Daimler, can continue to produce more polluting, less fuel efficient cars complicated the final stages of talks. But...

North Circular air pollution worst in London, emissions figures show
2013-06-23 18:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The North Circular, which carries more than 60,000 vehicles a day, has the worst traffic fumes of any road in London, according to official emissions figures released under freedom of information legislation. Exhaust emissions data held by Transport for London shows that a stretch of the road near Walthamstow ranked highest for four of the five most dangerous air pollutants, including benzene, nitrogen oxide (NO2) and fine particles of unburned carbon called PM10s and PM2.5s. Four of the capital's...
