In cities, urban areas and along highways, it is the road traffic that has the biggest share in harmful fine dust. The politicians must not fall asleep now. Therefore Greenpeace went on “Fine Dust Tour’ through Switzerland for three weeks with a biogas van.

Februar 2006: Regelmässig ist der Feinstaubgehalt in der Schweizer Luft höher, als gemäss WHO und Luftreinhalteverordnung gesund ist. Greenpeace war im Februar auf "Feinstaub-Tour" durch die Schweiz.In Städten, Agglomerationen und entlang von Autobahnen ist es der Strassenverkehr, der den Löwenanteil an schädlichen Feinstaubpartikeln beisteuert. Die Bevölkerung zahlt mit ihrer Gesundheit, was den Staat wiederum mindestens 1,5 Milliarden Franken pro Jahr kostet. Die festgelegten Grenzwerte werden seit 20 Jahren überschritten – ohne einschneidende Konsequenzen.© Greenpeace / Christian SchmutzLocations:Alpine Countries-Switzerland-WinterthurDate:18 Feb, 2006Credit:© Greenpeace / Christian SchmutzMaximum size:2560px X 1920pxKeywords:Air pollution-Climate (campaign title)-Day-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-Toxics (campaign title)Shoot:Toxics Fine Dust Tour SwitzerlandRegularly, the amount of fine dust in the Swiss air is so high it is unhealthy for the population, according to the World Health Organization.

The tour started in Luzern, next was Basel, Murten and Aarau, then Bern and Zurich and finally Tessin.
