descriptive
using France's Crit'Air windscreen stickers to classify vehicles by emissions
clm-22e14b4b3ca67ad9
quantitative
It rolled out in phases from July 2019 (banning Crit'Air 5 and unclassified vehicles), extending to Crit'Air 4 in 2021 and Crit'Air 3 in January 2025
clm-e72a1e5f01f6d63f
quantitative
it was shelved sine die at the end of 2021 for want of a working camera system
clm-61c15c2df1a624ab
quantitative
the sanction-free 'pedagogical' period now runs to December 2026
clm-dfc39094a9b715ae
quantitative
in May 2025 the National Assembly voted (not yet enacted) to scrap France's low-emission zones
clm-41a60a69a53c93fe
quantitative
Road-traffic NOx emissions inside the perimeter fell 42% between 2017 and 2023 with the first two steps in force, against 36% modelled without them — six percentage points attributable to the ZFE-m
clm-6148eab112f49aa5
descriptive
and fourteen points for private cars taken alone
clm-676e97e2ba84e474
quantitative
For PM10 the attributable gain is two points, because 82% of road-traffic PM10 comes off brakes, tyres and the road surface rather than the exhaust the stickers grade
clm-97d7e19fe27db3d1
quantitative
for PM2.5 no share was attributed at all, the trend not being statistically significant
clm-c864c1eab91e8ece
descriptive
possible effects of the zone on traffic volume were not considered
clm-9ee9f18766841e7c
quantitative
Across Île-de-France 5,000 people were still exposed to illegal NO2 levels in 2023, against 40,000 in 2022
clm-dfcc32d1cd5107be
quantitative
six points of NOx against two of PM10, because four fifths of the particles a car sheds come off its brakes, tyres and the road
clm-9454db78c9a5b797
quantitative
the cameras were shelved at the end of 2021 for want of a working system
This layer records what is known about each source, what is still missing, and the exact snapshot this page is rendering. A missing date, archive or hash stays visible as missing.
Awaiting operator and domain-expert review; publication of this revision implies neither.
Erratum on this revision's envelope. The snapshot, its hash and its permanent link are untouched.

src-0269a386af2bb624Independent monitoring association's a posteriori evaluation of the Crit'Air 4 step: NOx emissions down 42% 2017-2023 with the zone against 36% without (six points attributable), fourteen points for private cars, two points for PM10, no attribution for PM2.5; effects on traffic volume not modelled.
src-a89e8aa03614721bEnforcement delay: automated sanctions postponed again, pedagogical no-fine period extended to December 2026; May-2025 National Assembly vote to abolish ZFEs.
src-ed1c1062f6bba0fdPublished 28 Dec 2021, updated 29 Oct 2022: vidéoverbalisation planned for the end of 2021 was postponed sine die because no camera system was operational; physical checks continue.
