The arrival in recent days of a drop in temperatures, which has led, among other things, to the use of wood as a means of heating, has generated an episode of fine particle pollution in the department of Gironde.

PM10 pollution is also generated by vehicle traffic.

In view of the elements transmitted by the organization Atmo Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the prefecture on Monday initiated the alert procedure for the system for managing pollution episodes.

Lowered speeds on the roads of Gironde

The prefect Fabienne Buccio has taken the decision to limit the speed in all the communes of the Gironde, to 110 km / h on the portions of motorways normally limited to 130 km / h, to 90 km / h on the portions of 'motorways and expressways normally limited to 110 km / h, and to 70 km / h on portions of motorways, expressways and national and departmental roads normally limited to 80 or 90 km / h.

It also decided to suspend the exemptions for the burning of green waste in the open air and the practice of burn-out.

The Prefect “recommends that vulnerable and sensitive populations limit authorized trips as much as possible and favor shorter outings.
