Munich’s selective diesel vehicle ban and its impact on nitrogen dioxide concentrations: A quasi-experimental study
Our study suggests that Munich's selective diesel vehicle ban had a limited effect on lowering NO<sub>2</sub> concentrations. Possible explanations include the ban's focus on Euro 4 and older diesel vehicles, many exemptions to the selective ban, and unclear enforcement. This highlights that comprehensive approaches and ongoing, well-designed monitoring and evaluation are crucial for addressing urban air pollution and protecting public health.
