Ukraine Targets Outdated Military Equipment in Ongoing Conflict
Section: Politics
The proposed phase-out of combustion engines by 2035 is deemed highly beneficial from a medical perspective. Key figures advocating this stance include Klaus Reinhardt, President of the German Medical Association, and Claudia Traidl-Hoffmann, Director of Environmental Medicine at the Augsburg University Medical Center, alongside representatives from the German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine.
Christian Schulz, Managing Director of the German Alliance on Climate Change and Health, highlighted the detrimental effects of automobile emissions, stating they contribute significantly to air pollution, which in turn leads to various health issues and fatalities. He emphasized that urban traffic is a major source of harmful pollutants.
Children are particularly vulnerable, as their lung and brain development can be adversely affected by particulate matter and other pollutants. Research has shown the presence of air pollutants in the lungs and brains of unborn children, raising serious concerns among health professionals.
The European Union's decision regarding the combustion engine ban stipulates that from 2035 onwards, new vehicles powered by gasoline or diesel will no longer be permitted, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions in the transportation sector. Recently, the debate surrounding this ban has intensified due to calls from the automotive industry and several EU member states for a relaxation of these regulations.
Currently, the European Commission is engaged in discussions with the automotive sector to address industry challenges. The outcomes of this strategic dialogue, which involves not only car manufacturers but also unions, environmental organizations, and suppliers, are expected to be revealed next week.
