After a drop linked to the first
coronavirus lockdown, transport and traffic emissions in Italian
cities went back up in the second half of 2020 with the risk of
"a return to the pre-COVID business as usual," according to the
MobilitAria 2021 report.
The report, which was released on Thursday and prepared by the
Kyoto Club NGO and the National Research Council's Atmospheric
Pollution Institute (CNR-IIA), said pollution levels were
actually up in Milan in 2020 with respect to 2019.
It said that Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) levels, for example, were
down in all the 36 Italian cities survey except for Milan, which
registered a 7% rise.
