Healthy teenagers, young adults, and strong athletes can suffer negative effects from high pollution levels, especially when exercising outdoors. People who live in heavily polluted areas are exposed to not just one pollutant but to many pollutants. And, the concentration of each pollutant changes during the day. All of this makes it difficult to separate out the effects of each pollutant. In addition, how susceptible people are to the effects of air pollutants can vary widely.

According to legislation introduced in 2001, Switzerland is already paying to install low-noise systems in its national railway vehicles. Vehicles fi tted with noise-reducing technologies are refunded 0.01 CHF per axle kilometre travelled in Switzerland. This translates into a €7.50 bonus for a typical four-axle wagon on the 300 km Basel-Chiasso line, an important link in the Germany- Italy transit route. A complete freight train with composite brake blocks gets a €93 refund, which is 5% of the total track access charge.
