The Île-de-France region, particularly Paris, is facing a significant rise in air pollution, prompting local authorities to enforce emergency measures. These include reduced speed limits across various roads and a ban on wood-burning stoves and heaters. The air quality watchdog, Airparif, identified the pollution sources as traffic fumes mixed with smoke from wood burns, exacerbated by stagnant weather conditions. While similar measures are more common in summer months, strict restrictions have been imposed until pollution levels stabilize, focusing on public health and air quality improvements.
