Traffic less polluting than thought
The amount of pollution originating from private cars in the Netherlands is between 5% and 15% less than earlier thought, the national statistics office CBS said on Monday.
New calculations and better insight into actual pollution volumes have led to the new figures, the CBS said. In particular, the estimate of the number of kilometres travelled in private cars between 1990 and 2005 has been cut by 5%.
