Faced with this situation, several measures have been taken.
The Eurometropolis has launched the reinforced action plan against air pollution.
This system provides for free transport on the entire network of the Strasbourg Transport Company (CTS) on Tuesday.
Special pricing is also available for Vélhop, at 3 euros per rental day.
20 km / h decrease in speed
The Bas-Rhin prefecture has announced other measures.
First, a reduction of 20 km / h in speed on the motorway network and roads with separate carriageways.
At home, the burning of green waste is prohibited, as is the use of firewood if it is not essential.
Clearly, if you use a wood stove to complete your electric or gas heating, you will have to do without it this Tuesday.
Finally, the agricultural sector is prohibited from open-air burning operations and the building sector from dust-generating work.
Ultimate precision from the prefecture: fireworks are prohibited!
