How to Minimise your Environmental Impact with ADL Logistics

Climate change is increasingly being seen as a major issue, with vehicle pollution and air quality seen as one of the biggest causes for concern, particularly in urban environments. Nitrogen dioxide, or NO2, is a particular issue in cities as it’s one of the more harmful vehicle exhaust gases, known to contribute towards global warming.

During lockdown there was a remarkable decrease in NO2 and other harmful pollutants. This was down to the sudden drop in traffic on the roads that occurred at the end of March 2020. According to a report by the BBC, NO2 levels fell by as much as 60% when compared with the same period the previous year. As more people stayed at home, there was an almost immediate improvement in air quality throughout the UK.  Since then, some reports suggest that pollution levels today may even be higher than before.

It is clear that public opinion is firmly on the side of cleaner air.  Surveys carried out throughout Europe show that two-thirds of respondents don’t want a return to pre-Covid air pollution levels, even if that means limiting vehicles in cities.
