Turin said Tuesday that it was
stopping diesel vehicles with emission standards of euro5 or
lower from travelling in the city as of Wednesday due to a "red"
smog alert.
It said it was taking the move after registering 10
consecutive days of microparticle levels of over 50 micrograms
per cubic metre.
It is the first time that a ban have been applied to this
category of diesel vehicles since a new air-quality agreement
for the Po River Basin area came into force in October.
