[edit]Berlin's regulation encompassing the Environmental Zone focuses on reducing PM 10 and NO2 particles that are commonly produced from the fossil fuels in the oil in vehicles. PM10 consists of organic and inorganic particles that are found suspended within air particles and have health damaging effects as it acts as a trigger for cardiovascular and respiratory disease in humans.[1] NO2, while also found in air, have scientifically been shown to cause bronchitis as well as reduce lung function growth in children[2]
People who choose not to use a public or natural form of transportation such as walking or biking, are required to have a sticker on their vehicle. This sticker shows what type of pollutant your vehicle is in order to be used in the environmental zone. If the driver or passenger does not obey to have this sticker on their vehicle within any environmental zones in Germany they have to pay a fine.[3]Jdarsa (talk) 06:06, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
