France to limit vehicle use in Paris amid soaring pollution
Description: Paris and much of northern France have been suffering under high pollution levels for several days after an extended period of cool, dry nights with much warmer daytime temperatures - climactic conditions that do not allow pollutant particles to disperse. A system of "alternating traffic", whereby vehicle use is restricted to alternate days depending on licence plate numbers, will come into effect in Paris and its surrounding suburbs from 5.30 am (04.30 GMT) Monday morning.
