Note on dieselization of cars and action plan: a brief summary of Supreme Court directives on toxicity of diesel and growing scientific evidence on health impacts of this fuel.

There are currently around 90 cities that India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) identified as critically polluted. Particulate matter (PM), especially fine particulate matter (PM2.5), dominates the concern. Other air pollutants such as NO2, ozone (O3), and air toxics are also problematic.

New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) and TVE Asia Pacific jointly organise a media briefing in Colombo on the Challenges of Air Quality and Mobility Management in South Asian Cities . Colombo, like Delhi, is facing a serious air pollution problem – toxic risk from rapidly growing numbers of vehicles, many of which run on diesel.

Colombo, like Delhi, is facing a serious air pollution problem – toxic risk from rapidly growing numbers of vehicles, many of which run on diesel.

The European Commission has proposed new emissions standards for two and three-wheeled powered vehicles and quadricycles, collectively termed L-category vehicles, as part of a broader regulation that would also cover safety and market surveillance.
From an air-quality perspective the primary objective is to keep constant or reduce the share of total road-transport emissions from L-category vehicl

Hell broke lose when the environment minister Jairam Ramesh called SUVs criminal for guzzling cheap subsidized diesel. He is right -- The real beneficiaries of the diesel subsidy are the owners of "BMWs, Benz and Hondas'', and not the farmers.
