Dear Friends,

Nobody would dare say that the pollution caused by vehicle traffic does not represent one of the biggest threats to our health. Even though today we know how to build 100% emission-free vehicles, whether they run on electricity or even on hydrogen, with the advantage that they will only give off water!

Our children are particularly exposed to these emissions, it is therefore important to make them aware from a very young age. This is why we are organising a video game tournament which has as décor a gigantic traffic jam that you should try to cross.

During this ‘adventure’, children should avoid dangerous gases and catch oxygen, simple but efficient to understand what is good for their health and what puts them at risk.

Because it is important to remind us that the more a child is exposed to vehicle pollution and the lower the risk of developing allergies, asthma, bronchitus, etc. even being born premature because a mother who lives close to a highly frequented road will double her risk of giving birth before her term.

As for adults in the same situation, they triple their risk of having heart problems, not forgetting this recent Canadian study which showed that women who live in an atmosphere containing nitrogen dioxide (NO2 = marker of pollution for this study) see their risk of having breast cancer increase by 25% every time the concentration of this gas will increase by 5 ppb (parts per billion).

In summary, let us mobilise ourselves so that eco cars invade our roads, are offered at prices which enable us to buy them as well as help us clean up the air that we breathe.

Your site is offering you as always different forms of entertainment on this theme (cartoon, game, case file, quiz, etc), please talk to those around you and encourage your children, your family, your friends, your childrens teachers, etc to use them.
