The electric car is doing some fine dust concerns barely better than a gasoline car, this newspaper headlined recently. That's right, but that he still is, broadly, a more environmentally friendly alternative than the petrol car, had Tom Naegels which may be made clearer.
That the electric car barely less particulate emissions than a new petrol car, it was last week, their remarkable news on the front page (DS November 10). But the report by Transport & Mobility Leuven, which De Standaard quoted, was challenged immediately - in harsh terms. Not based on proper scientific method, "wrote Professor Joeri Van Mierlo, who does the VUB research into electric vehicles, report potholes on his blog. "A very wrong and tendentious report, Ronnie report potholes Belmans found, report potholes head of Energyville, a spin-off from the University of Leuven, in an email to the editor. He forwardde also a long list of comments from his colleague Niels Van Leemput even KU Leuven, where at the end the word "bullshit" fell. Both mails were sent to Time, which they processed in the fact check + HEADING 'D-facto: the study pulls' the environmental impact of electric cars in doubt with a questionable reckoner of some lines.
Some readers emailed me: had the newspaper soak in for a ride? Well, no, do not, provided you properly understood what exactly is measured. (It gets a bit absurd to make a fact-check a fact check, but the colleagues of Time unilaterally listened to the opponents to me.) The report indeed looked at only one part of the problem: a comparison of emissions primary report potholes particulate matter by electrical and new lightweight conventional cars in the city. Primary particles are emitted directly by car through the exhaust or wear include tires and brakes. Because the exhaust emissions by vastly improved technology almost no role to play, and the majority of wear. That's no different report potholes for electric cars.
The negative reactions came because they had the impression that the report, and therefore the Standard, a much broader conclusion wanted report potholes to draw than focus on primary particulate matter allowed: that switching to electric vehicles globally in the long term would be more environmentally friendly, or we better stop investing in electrical technology, or ... If you want to know that, argues Joeri Van Mierlo, you have to make a life cycle analysis, and according to his research, the electric car better from there.
Such analysis report potholes can not only look at primary particulate matter, but also to other pollutants and gases such as CO 2 or secondary report potholes fine dusts generated in the atmosphere by chemical reactions among other gases. And then there are the issues that arise during the production of the cars, while generating electricity for the electric car and during the refining of crude oil for petrol cars. The newspaper Van Mierlo left Thursday to speak, if that succession piece for my taste too short, and appeared report potholes to spread report potholes both pieces to be able to understand the significance of the difference in approach.
Because what I understand, is that it makes sense to only look at that primary particulate matter. That, after all, has an immediate effect report potholes on health; primary particulate report potholes matter has a strong local impact. And in suburbs the concentrated. (Secondary substance is more widespread, the emissions from oil refineries are quite far away.)
Editor Stijn Cools, who wrote the piece, tells me that he three times has asked for a second opinion: report potholes in environmental biologist Tim Nawrot (Hasselt University), the Association for a Better Environment and Frans Fierens, particulates specialist of the Interregional Cell for the Environment. All three said Cools, she confirmed that involves analysis sting. If I Fierens call, repeat that he "fully agree" goes with the conclusions about primary particulate matter. "Even if it is in air naturally for more than that. I just happened to read a new scientific article, in which calculations for Madrid and Barcelona give the same result: the fleet to 40 percent could be electric, then that is true positive effects on the air - nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide significantly decrease - but the proportion of fine dust barely drops. report potholes That is not a surprising conclusion. New technologies such as electric vehicles are part of the solution report potholes to air pollution, but they certainly did not solve everything. And they also stuck in traffic. "
Cools tells me that he has nuances in his piece
