Almost half the centre of Paris will be accessible only by foot or bicycle this Sunday to mark World Car-Free Day. This is in response to rising air pollution that made Paris the most polluted city in the world for a brief time.Mayor Anne Hidalgo promoted the first World Car Free Day last year. Hidalgo also has supported a Paris Breathes Day. On the first Sunday of every month, Paris clears traffic from eight lanes of the main road. About 400 miles of streets will be closed to cars. It is expected to bring significant reduction in pollution levels. “Last year's car-free day showed a 40% drop in pollution levels in some parts of the city, according to an independent air pollution monitor”, reports the Guardian, “and some levels dropped by 50% in the city centre.”
為了紀念世界無車日，本周日，巴黎市中心幾乎一半的地方將只能步行或騎自行車進入。這是為了應對日益嚴重的空氣污染，巴黎一度成為世界上污染最嚴重的城市。去年，市長安妮·伊達爾戈發(fā)起了第一個世界無車日。伊達爾戈還支持舉辦“巴黎呼吸日”。在每個月的第一個周日，巴黎主干道上的8條車道將進行交通清理。大約400英里的街道將禁止汽車通行。預計這將顯著降低污染水平。《衛(wèi)報》報道稱:“根據(jù)一個獨立的空氣污染監(jiān)測機構報告，去年的無車日顯示，城市某些地區(qū)的污染水平下降了40%，一些城市中心的污染水平下降了50%。”
