Old cars root of air pollution – UN

UNITED NATIONS: Getting rid of old cars was helping clean the skies over developed nations, but many clunkers were ending up in developing countries where they added significantly to air pollution, a United Nations report warned.

The European Union, Japan and United States exported around 3 million used vehicles each year between 2015 and 2018, with most going to low- and middle-income countries and more than half ending up in Africa, according to a report released Monday by the UN Environment Program (UNEP).
