africa. a neighborhood street festival in the german city of cologne for a dying cause a band pedestrians and bicyclists are free to use the streets normally traffic clogs these roads and pollutes the air levels find particulate matter a notch and oxides high in downtown cologne. pediatrician christian during is trying to raise awareness of the problem. imo your kids have a cigarette. the cigarette made of chewing gum symbolizes the invisible danger of particular matter i'm not sure john locke sides it represents the 2 cigarettes with toxins during says cologne residents inhale in . every day. he sees
9:17 am
a lot of young patients with respiratory problems in his practice. like in the us process is no fish where there are pediatric practice is located nearby in an area with heavy traffic and we've observed an increase in the problems children have in the months when we get temperature inversions this stuff and then the polluted air is trapped below and there's an increase in respiratory irritants from traffic concert particles from coal fired power plants children get diseases that are more severe and they need longer to recover we have to prescribe more medication. it's generally accepted that fine particulate matter and nitrogen oxides pollute the air we breathe and can destroy our health the question is who is responsible. find particulates
9:18 am
a small fragments of solid materials only could droplets suspended in the air they may contain contaminants such as sort of lead particulate matter is divided into 3 categories. the largest of these particles or attempt of the width of a human hair this is the catch a great peak in 10 particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter and these relatively cause particles tend to stay in the respiratory tract refined matter that has particles less than $2.00 microns in diameter make up the class pm $2.00 and a small enough to penetrate the lungs ultra fine particles are less than 0 point one micron in diameter they can enter the bloodstream if i think occurring and if the particles are small enough to get into the bloodstream that's a huge problem in small children whose immune defenses are still weak. their system is that in training so to speak preparing for all the things that it will face later. in life that's why kids generally have weak immune defenses in addition and
9:19 am
i'll show you here the long of a 12 month old child is still very very small that's a big problem for pediatricians in the us and even. air pollution affects the most vulnerable the sick the elderly and children like you'll find there this 6 year old has to use a nebulizer to thin the mucus in his lungs when air quality in cologne tyria rights during the winter months you'll get a calm that invariably develops into bronchitis or even pneumonia in an effort to break the cycle doctors prescribe various medications and inhalations that's chorister problems the main problem is the strong medications that i try to avoid them by treating him 1st with homeopathy and herbals and then cough syrup but we usually end up resorting to a cord as i spray on the back i think so as soon as he starts coughing i tense up
9:20 am
because i always feel that he develops this cough no matter what i do. or what it means is that families have kids can't live in cities especially if they're predisposed to these kinds of conditions i mean i'm not home mom chemically outside yes via because the air is so bad that ultimately you can't live their. son's chronic condition forced into and mirka found verge to move out to the suburbs but use cough hasn't improved it seems there's no escaping colognes polluted am. the amish monocoque we've even considered moving to the coast. but i'm a teacher so i can't just get up and leave it's always a question of where you can find a job. but theoretically everybody should move away from cologne.
9:21 am
traffic is one of the causes of air pollution in cities 63 percent of traffic related particular matter is generated vibrate and tile where only 37 percent stems from engine source engines are primarily responsible for the nitrogen oxides in city air less so for particulate matter. traffic generates high levels of dangerous ultra fine particles toxins that here to their surfaces and can enter the bloodstream. in downtown cologne pediatrician christian during is vacuuming dirt off the street deposits of fine particular matter consisting of sort and rubber as well as lead barium aluminum and mercury street cleaning has long been used as a method of reducing traffic related air pollution but what christian during his doing here is merely symbolic. in that there's now it's not
9:22 am
a bad year. as is our bowling and this road has made a difference the substances we vacuumed out these particles are contaminated the water so much that when we pour it in here you see that it's completely cloudy. how damaging is particular matter to our internal organs next to the cemetery is the institute of forensic medicine of colognes university hospital. the basement pathology lab is the work place a forensic medicine specialist mark was brought sheild. here he investigates cases in which the course type or time of death is unclear. what shield can read the organs of the deceased like a book this lung. is no exception. in this
9:23 am
this is the long of a man aged around 50 who lived here in the city if the autopsy determined that he died of natural causes what we see very clearly by looking at is long that he held significant quantities of particulates matter without. the deceased was not a smoker the pathologist can tell that from the tissue still the left lung is covered in black dots. if you can see polluted as a residue in the lungs the shiny covering here is the palm of their employer that surrounds each lung in directly beneath the pleura you see this pattern of black dots these are carbon particles particles and it's the dirt this individual inhaled and that was deposited in his lungs. we bring it about 20000 times every day passing some 10000 liters of air through
9:24 am
our lungs particles smaller than 10 micro meters in diameter or p.m.t. into the nasal cavity and trachea our natural defenses allow us to cough or sneeze small amounts out of our bodies. bot those defenses are overtaxed by large quantities of particles the respiratory tract swells up even smaller particles pm 2.5 can into the pollner a real line and trigger brumfiel infections the result. pneumonia hightest. be called a chronic inflammations those courses can create liberation of connective tissue fibrosis and along that reduces the long elasticities and the patient experiences shortness of breath a hunger for air that is not curable which is tired of our. culture a fine particles into the. blood strain triggering chronic inflammation of blood
9:25 am
vessels that leads to clog arteries that can lead to a heart attack or stroke statistics for europe show that pollution can shave up to 2 years off our life span. the black life shortening deposits of visible under the microscope the accumulation of carbon particles in the loans is known as answer cosas run through and if you look at this and consider that our own lungs probably look the same it's clear that we need to go out and breathe fresh air from time to time of innocent people living in big cities all have lungs in which we find to a greater or lesser extent deposits of carbon particles mean it would have been a go shot. but i have to say that when i started 30 years ago we saw far more pronounced cases of anthrax hoaxes than we do today a plea on the whole it's declined but we still see it in anyone who lives in a big city looking obviously in this by a huge internet will certainly. have pollution generated by the particulate matter
9:26 am
drop significantly in germany after $990.00 that includes nitrogen oxides which was thrust into the spotlight by german car make a v.w. is more recent emissions scandal but since 2009 there's been little improvement in equality. the situation is far more grave in delhi the world's most polluted capital the air in the indian city is 10 times more contaminated than in cologne a trip to delhi is like a trip into germany's past this is how polluted the western european country was 4 decades ago. people try to protect themselves with face masks. we meet up with sham babesia she works for the center of science and environment that is an environmental advisor to the government she takes measurements to show us just help bad the air is.
9:27 am
like. the such. but i. have no choice but. the false image you've. got to be really bored at home but if you don't actually do it. the daily threshold value for particles in germany is 50 micrograms per cubic meter of. the measurements show delhi exceeds that by a factor of 30 that were taken in a heavily polluted area still there and bombing. the tough issue for us. so i don't want to bartend a evolutionist bullshit if he should he wouldn't. but when it joins us you better
9:28 am
start looking for evolution it does change my mind and now i want to look for the evolution in the evolution of that the so that if not meet the definition for the future generation of missing they should really go back to what they were feeling that. the indian government has responded by closing the coal fired power plants and ordering taxis that run on gasoline or diesel to switch to compressed natural gas but many still fill up with the bad fuel and traffic isn't even the main source of telling small it's the poor households in this city of 28000000 that use coal heated all ends to press their laundry and open fires to cook their meals. households like bondo davies every day she makes traditional flat bread often she uses the lack of wood to fire her stove. such domestic cooking fire as one of the
9:29 am
biggest sources of pollution here. poor residents a poisoning the city's a and themselves. i have trouble breathing he is. here or my eyes search. and i often get headaches. and. sometimes i can hardly breathe and have to go to the hospital to get. from space pollution it is plain to see the haze hovers not only above the city but stretches in a broadband across india pollution levels are highest between november and monch then hospital waiting rooms fill up with coughing patients and pollution kills an estimated $1800000.00 indians every year doctors at b.l.k. hospitals and to the chest and respiratory diseases use a lung function test to check for early warning signs. normal be the.
9:30 am
norm b. and b. britain's a real out. some more some more some more some more i think that people say that made it excellent. book doctors can only treat the patients symptoms and try to relieve their pain in the recent dio's the number is increasing day by day i'm seeing more and more young children the symptoms suggestive of i'm seeing more and more people whose you would ask my guests orsen very frequent so the number has almost doubled i can not tell my patients to stop breathing because it's essential to breathe so when i see them again and again in my own telling that they had only a bit vague though but we're not absolutely all right it's really frustrating then i don't have to take a philosophy. everybody to plant
9:31 am
a tree but probably you know we need more than just planting a tree. the bale family lives in greater. and after a district in the capital they've installed special technology in their home to help improve air quality. my room. visit my. meter. the endo i know on my route. for them going slowly a good fairy here. that's for phillips. never fired and the big brand dare you to cut forbes so this recently i want from either group . there that one right here recently bought. your life but i didn't. get it so this is
9:32 am
a very very serious story that from the company. marine i'll buy a lot is an architect. he spent almost a 1000 euros on the purifiers when i go outside an air pollution is high the children have to wear face masks. the. last year there was a time my 2 games step out and they were just. stepping over for the next week for school or anything so they wore bear markets throughout the day so that was a bad day. in the winter myra and mira spend 3 to 4 months almost exclusively indoors $22.00 of the world's most polluted cities are in india and the situation isn't improving cleaning it is a precious commodity that only the wealthy can afford to improve air quality for every. one india would need to lift millions out of poverty and
9:33 am
a radical 8 open fire cooking. germany could serve as an example its biggest polluters industry and coal fired power plants were ordered to install filter systems domestic coal ovens were gradually replaced by gas heating and electric starters. the german environment agency operates one of 6 measuring stations in noida club so in eastern brandenburg state it also analyzes data from other state finance stations marion vic mumfie big heads the agency's air quality department she advises the government on strategies to tackle fine particulate matter and nitrogen oxides the 3rd of them of the filter that is currently collecting particulate matter isn't here at midnight it's pivoted over here and falls into this refrigerated chamber where the use filters are stored as good as the stuff on there and we can see there's already a residue on it. in the bigger money back in the 1970 s.
9:34 am
you could literally taste and see the smog at least in the industrial roar area and big cities was a given that the fine particulate matter we measure here is a health hazard that you can't see and so it's hard to convince people that it's a serious risk to their health. agency uses high precision instruments to conduct its measurements when coal fired power plants of ramped up in neighboring poland or winds carries a higher and dust clouds to germany the values measured here rise in the e.u. the threshold values for the inhalable particles measuring $2.00 microns or less is $25.00 micrograms per cubic meter of air averaged over 3 years. you have one small investment we took the data for pm $2.00 in germany and compared it with the authorized threshold value that they're going to show us on this as you see on the map everything is green which means we have not exceeded any threshold
9:35 am
value and are in compliance with a limit so it looks like there is no health risks but the world health organizations recommended limit is much lower when we compared our data to their threshold value of the map or suddenly read in other words there is a health hazard so if we want to protect public health we should use the w h o's recommendations as our yardstick. threshold values are always the result of negotiations politicians not doctors all scientists decide whether the air we breathe is clean enough and currently politicians are focused on road traffic as the main source of pollution but marian victim and phoebe says elsewhere. you would spoil men would fuel heating systems are significant factor in air pollution especially out enbrel areas in fun if you drive through a village you'll see stacks of wood everywhere people use them to light a cosy evening fire but most don't have an exhaust filter. and up just like
9:36 am
everything that's burned inside goes straight up through the chimney and out into the air and that's what we brace. emissions of pm 2.5 particulates matter from wood studs has risen in germany in recent years while the share from automobile engines has dropped since 2008 woodfield started 7 missed more particulate matter than engines would combustion now generates almost as much atmospheric pollution as traffic comprising engine exhaust as well as tire and brake where. the reason more and more people like the schimmel family are eating with wood because it's considered a carbon neutral fuel but particulate matter from wood burning stoves is as much a health hazard as diesel sort chimney sweeps regularly encounter users who don't know the rules of making a fire it's a big problem so that's my stock no i would add kindling wood under starter.
9:37 am
started a wave packed it i don't know where you put the kindling it would be totally overloaded i don't just reroute hollywood last. stoves that are overloaded all models with high royster content emits high levels of pollutants like nitrogen and sulphur oxides hydrochloric acid and particulate matter. chimneysweep mario vital juice a small logs and wood will soaked in works to light the fire he puts the thinner logs on top this is the low emission top down method. there so that's the way to do it a perfectly stacked starve. and the manufacturer has testbench conditions to achieve certain values with optimized words and set up conditions but he's vary from site to site. so in order to make it at all possible that the emissions correspond relatively closely to the
9:38 am
manufacturer's value. use we'd chimney sweeps need to show our customers how to use their stirrups for us otherwise it's pointless. even if owners like their fires by the book it's virtually impossible to match manufacture is a mission values in daily use woodstoves a much more pollution inclined despite the best efforts of chimney sweeps. you are going to try word below of the emissions source or the stove the cleaner the exhaust gases that i generate one way and the more i'm protecting the environment and my neighborhood of foreign made mine in mr one. according to the german environment agency wood stoves account for 20 percent of the particulate matter emitted in the pm $2.00 size range in germany that figure is rising. power plants are still the biggest emitters with 26 percent 2 thirds of these emissions stem from coal fired power plants traffic takes 3rd place
9:39 am
with 19 percent of the share contributed by agriculture is just 5 percent. but the german environment agency only measures direct emissions your slowly felt is a professor of atmospheric physics at the max planck institute for chemistry his findings are quite different lately felt says there's another culprit responsible for polluted air livestock. the out it clearly the animals bear a share of responsibility for the problem there's far more great sustainably but whenever you buy cheap meat from a conventional factory farm you're making a decisive contribution to the creation of atmospheric particulates matter in a fine billeted. how is that possible layfield explains the following distinction primary particulate matter is. lisa directly into the atmosphere when
9:40 am
matter created for example by thai aware or engine combustion decomposes into smaller particles secondary particulate matter is formed by chemical processes in the air. ammonia for example which escapes from farm in new york combines with other substances to form particulate molecules some of these substances carcinogenic and small enough to enter the gas exchange regions of the lungs the alveoli and the blood strain. i said if. i believe the german environment agencies figure of 5 percent is too low. or 70 percent of find particulate matter is formed in the atmosphere it isn't released in some way as dust is formed chemically. making a point here and been livestock manure is spread as fertilizer in the fields and the ammonia it contains escapes into the atmosphere only or so escapes from the
9:41 am
stables and particulate matter is formed when ammonia combines with nitrogen oxides from road traffic if i stop being. laid felt alarming conclusion some 40 percent of all the fine particulate matter in germany is generated by agriculture and above all by factory farming. omonia gas from farm in your blankets the ground and reacts among other things with nitrogen oxides from traffic to form ammonium nitrate in the atmosphere it may be carcinogenic high omonia levels are produced in northwestern germany a center of industrial animal farming west winds carry the gas across the country meat production is a key industry in germany could that be why there's so little public debate about agriculture is role in generating particulate matter. madeon victim and feel big agree with fell's assessment. that beard if i start if we want to tackle
9:42 am
the problem of particulates matter we need to see fewer wood burning stoves less livestock farming or cut in emissions from livestock farming less ammonia that would be ideas that would reduce so-called secondary particulate matter and would really bring relief to a large part of the population and we could meet the stricter threshold values. that would significantly reduce particulate matter pollution across germany and not just in large cities. as the gun is no doubt and this is not just about guaranteeing every person's right to clean air it's also about making clean air economically viable people call in sick to work they have chronic diseases none of that is factored into. equations instead short term economic interests are given precedence without a real evaluation of the health liabilities and their related costs see and the
9:43 am
problem of ambient particulate matter and missed it by wood stoves in agriculture is compounded in cities by traffic. actually in that matter and nitrogen oxides accumulate at hot spots on heavily trafficked roads in so-called street canyons or at railway stations and this is especially true in the winter months when temperature inversion traps polluted any of the ground. barbara hoffman is an environmental epidemiologist whose evaluated studies on air pollution involving tens of thousands of participants. their findings a surprising. they're out of bounds it's not really tricky of course it's the drivers who are sitting in a cabin that are exposed to the highest levels of fire upon is all that and when riding a bicycle even if you can only distance yourself from heavy traffic by a few meters or take a road parallel to the main road the exposure is already significantly lower
9:44 am
beutler he's going up. 65 cities in germany regularly exceed limits cannot reach an upside emissions produced by diesel vehicles the values are particularly high in munich stuttgart and cologne. e.u. environment commissioner common avella to germany and 5 other countries to court. some of the pm complains to be. in 2000. and 5 and no 2 complaints were to be in 2010 so i think we've waited a long time and we cannot possibly wait and all and the longer we cannot have plans which are telling us that compliance might be some time even after 2021 after 2025. i don't so these were the main reasons. the most effective way to rapidly cut nitrogen oxide pollution is to ban diesel
9:45 am
cars from roads with the government dragging its feet the organization environmental action germany began suing the 65 affected cities to force them to stay within the e.u. pollution limits the 1st verdict was handed down and in early june 2800 of them became the 1st german city force to take action by an administrative court because a lot of the state of north rhine-westphalia was no take all necessary measures to ensure that a complies with the limits of nitrogen dioxide by september 1st 2019 of the scottish however the court has made it clear that it considers a bona diesel driving to be the only suitable measure to ensure compliance with the limits. so there's now a 98 percent likelihood that a burn and driving diesel cars will be imposed. 3 weeks later in late june 28th in an administrative court in stuttgart also ruled in favor of driving bans.
9:46 am
the state government complied banning diesel cars from all roads in stuttgart from january the 1st 2019 and not just on selected roads like in hamburg or as planned in berlin. the ban applies to cars made to euro 4 standard and older. service and we wouldn't be discussing driving bans today have cars were as clean as they're supposed to be if manufacturers had used cheating software but installed suitable hardware would be complying with air quality standards for both nitrogen oxides and particular matter. if all the affected cities introduced driving bands at least $1300000.00 diesel drivers would be impacted. as an advisor to federal ministries he doesn't see driving bands as a necessity. for him out of our mind i've always appealed for patience the values will continue to improve and reach targets across the board even in short gartside
9:47 am
and munich through france or come our ensure that our community. argues that diesel technology is indispensable if all vehicles were replaced by vehicles with better exhaust technology it would be more environmentally friendly than scrapping older vehicles just because of their high emissions on it or whom vote for them to whom they are. this folks and percent has a diesel engine that's banned instruct that excellent into the diesel engine is a feat of engineering and no nation masters this technology better than we do in germany german engineers did an incredible job here even if there are some things that weren't. criticism in total it's an excellent engineering achievement for the ingenuity of so. called heads the reciprocating engines institute at the cultural institute of technology his team studies engine emissions and alternative fuels
9:48 am
coke believes the diesel engine has been demonized in a pollution debate he doesn't condone manufacturers use of fraudulent software to cheat emissions tests but he blames policymakers for setting road traffic pollution limits at a time when they were technologically unattainable. but i was part of this so this was i think. i'm sure other developers faced an impossible task either they had high levels of particulate matter and low levels of nitrogen oxides or high levels of nitrogen oxides and low levels of particulate matter and back then you couldn't achieve low levels of both at the same time not only became possible with exhaust aftertreatment technology but it was a generally known fact that in reality vehicles were emitting far more than the utopian limit of $180.00 milligrams kilometer. simle tiny asli cutting
9:49 am
particulate matter and not trigon oxides wasn't technically feasible 10 years ago in diesel engines combustion occurs at a particularly high temperature generating a lot of nitrogen oxides in fact the particulate filter in diesel cars relies on not trippin dioxide to prevent clogging the gas converts the carbon sort into not trick oxide and c o 2 these exhaust gases will not filtered. due to engine engineers have been in there's a grazer where they have to decide which factors to prioritize you know in their t.v. fucking because they could only reduce an engine's nitrogen oxide emissions at the cost of all other operational parameters. engineers refrain from optimizing nitrogen oxide output. to me a. mechanical engineers have only been able to comply with threshold regulations since the development of selective catalytic reduction technology it uses your rear
9:50 am
to also remove nitrogen oxides today thomas car sees the diesel engine on the home stretch of an idiot like the day's luncheon will be needed for years to come have patience the emissions problem is resolved we mustn't demonize diesel. but it will take years to upgrade older diesel vehicles on germany's roads with the new technology. affected cities need to act and they need traffic managers because vehicles generate less pollution when they move in them when they're stopped in traffic jams. is looking to technology for help it's installed filters around measuring station at neck it all the location the clocks up the worst air pollution in germany yohannes sterner and patrick little are in charge of the pilot project. merely conference with installed filters on a 350 meter stretch along the road and neck
9:51 am
a tour of the last one is back there at the car dealership got off on a side buyer. oddballs you know 17 colonies of stock filter cloves are set up to reduce the load of particulate pollution so that into more than 40 measures the listed inch took guts clean air and action plan by those whose own father boarded in the debate on introducing driving bans we had politicians and industry representatives saying why didn't you do this why didn't you do that to avert a driving back and forth article we heard about particle filters being installed in other cities and vehicles equipped with filters and even if we're not entirely convinced about the effectiveness of. such measures we say if it's not nonsense let's give it a go or be under this always so we need to show we're using the means at our disposal to clean the air we're open to suggestions but we won't fall for useless hocus pocus then explain. this specialist hope they can persuade stuttgart
9:52 am
authorities to install particle filter systems like this one on top of cars in city traffic. for their books written your fine shall we filter particulate matter real books. on the funds turn of the year you can feel it here is drawn through the filter if i show you something else here we have installed a filter solution for the break. it filters particulate matter directly at the source. of these break filters could be installed in any vehicle cars trucks but also buses for example or there is generated a lot of interest in this because. the engineers are seeking to install their system on small trucks trains and busses this cow also measures particulate matter in the environment during our entire test drive in stuttgart the values exceeded the legal limit. even in neighborhoods at higher elevations.
9:53 am
the rooftop filter removes about 80 percent of particulate matter is fine stops a horse and the brake filter on the front axle also was about 80 percent of particulate matter generated by brake wear. but filters can only clean the air that passes through them they can only fight the symptoms not the causes of pollution and they don't remove nitrogen oxides at all for now reducing the number of diesel vehicles appears to be the only solution. then good on him next and if in the space of a year we discover all of the tests and some measurements that we're still a long way from meeting legal threshold values then. well prepared to introduce driving restrictions for euro 5 vehicles in 2020. recent court rulings have put the government under pressure it's asked carmakers to offer trade in incentives to customers who scrap all the diesels the measures being criticized as
9:54 am
a stimulus plan for the auto industry rather than a solution to pollution from indo-china here german car makers are offering attractive premiums double for example 6000 euro's v.w. the v.w. group 48000 marines so 5000 euros an average litter of 1000 more on the german government also wants to introduce compulsory hardware fixes for boulder diesel cars as a buy we're still talking to manufacturers about hardware retrofitting yes. one manufacturer has said it will pay 80 percent of the conversion process so we're talking about the remaining 20 percent don't know what the rest lead sponsor sent. the incentives only apply in 14 of germany's 65 polluted cities but it's unclear whether they will be implemented to date no manufacturer has agreed to pay retrofit costs so what can be done until the egg gets cleaned up barbara hoffman at

university hospital dusseldorf says hiding in your apartment is not a solution good policy active you tear physical activity whether it's running or cycling or whatever and it's one of the most important protective measures we know . your care protects against a variety of diseases. and the positive effects far outweigh the damage caused by inhaling air pollutants in front of touched off a fat as of yet any case it is definitely advisable to ride a bike instead of sitting in a car or about on fire and longer hope strasse but then you should avoid riding along main roads by taking side roads where pollution levels or lower. so. of course everyone can try to avoid exposure at peak traffic hours. but what you can't avoid is general exposure there we have no control over what we inhale line from. air pollution is rather like the radioactivity it's

9:57 am
scientists your slowly filters calculated that 7000000 people worldwide die prematurely from air pollution every year in germany the figure is probably 50000 lifestyle diseases caused by obesity smoking and alcohol abuse remain the biggest health hazard but air pollution poses the greatest environmental threat to global health. norad and come to my advise everyone to look out of an airplane window from down here you can see how dirty the air is but if you look down from our part you see it very clearly. in the end when you realize that it's very sad your breathing in and out moment 10000 times a day and it's clear that the average really needs to be clean if you want to live a healthy life as one does need to consider this in fact it's possible that we're on the right track and pollution has decreased slightly but we're still
