9 months agoRotterdam does seem to be the major source of pollution - is that one of the reasons why people cycle less there than other Dutch cities?

Very good point. I noticed London data was also included in that study and seemed to have very high levels of nitrogen dioxide wherever they measured (despite having an excellent public transport system!). That’s a horrible shame that the Dutch have to suffer other nations’ pollution :-(
Was this around the same time the Dutch were protesting against cars killing their children?
Amazing news, can imagine how much quieter Wales will become as a result of this
Found another pollution comparison of Dublin and Amsterdam, which suggests when you take into account a more holistic picture of pollution that Amsterdam is superior: https://www.numbeo.com/pollution/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Netherlands&country2=Ireland&city1=Amsterdam&city2=Dublin
