The Sweden’s capital upcoming low-emission zone will only permit use of electric cars and gas cars that meet the Euro 6 emission standards. Euro 6 plug-in hybrid heavy vehicles will also be permitted. The zone is in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Violating the rules of the zone is a traffic offence which can result in a police fine of SEK 1,000, i.e. roughly €85.
Air pollution in the city of Stockholm has been a long-standing problem. Medical research shows that children living near Stockholm streets with high emissions have reduced lung function from as early as six months of age.

sudoku ( @sudoku@programming.dev ) English14•9 months agoI feel like this whole article is a nonsensical mashup. Has anyone even proofread this AI summary?
luxuslurch ( @luxuslurch@feddit.de ) English2•9 months agoWould be useful if you could give an example of the “nonsensical mashup”. Otherwise it feels like you are simply not ready to process an actually quite trite article.
sudoku ( @sudoku@programming.dev ) English9•9 months agofirst it talks about how everything is banned, then it starts backpedaling about how euro6 ICE cars are allowed. it seems like the first part is copy-pasted from completely different article. at the very least it wasn’t even proofread.
luxuslurch ( @luxuslurch@feddit.de ) English2•9 months agoYou need to read what I highlighted.
AllNewTypeFace ( @AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space ) English15•9 months agoThe photo is misleading; it is of a pedestrianised square in the Old Town, an area of medieval cobbled streets where cars are restricted to a few roads around the perimeter. The low emission zone will not be in the Old Town but in Norrmalm, to the north of it and across the water.
thanksforallthefish ( @thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe ) English3•9 months agoWell it pairs with the misleading headline saying “petrol & diesel cars banned” and then the first sentence of the article says Euro6 ICE are allowed.
I don’t think this media is a very reliable source
Hubi ( @Hubi@feddit.de ) English7•9 months agoDoes Sweden have separate rules for “historic vehicles”? I’m asking because in Germany all cars registered as such are allowed to enter these restricted zones regardless of their emission standard.
Blaze ( @Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de ) English5•9 months agoGreat news for air pollution
MMNT ( @MMNT@lemmy.ml ) English4•9 months agoNot by much unfortunately. Car tires and brakes release very dangerous particles that are even smaller than PM2.5, but considering that the majority of cars are petrol cars, the pool of vehicles should be smaller.
theodewere ( @theodewere@kbin.social ) 3•9 months agoon the contrary i’m sure pollution hates to read news like this

sanpo ( @sanpo@sopuli.xyz ) English12•9 months agoWhy? They can afford cars that meet Euro 6 standards.
BlinkerFluid ( @BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one ) English1•9 months agoI mean, maybe, if they aren’t already hurting financially. Maybe per the concepts of capitalism, they don’t deserve to operate if they can’t afford to.
