Attainment of EU NO2 standards in the Netherlands

To meet the limit values a few bilions of Euros will possibly have to be spent for local measures (tearing down houses, tunnels, plates). Even by executing the National Environmental Action plan 4 en the BOR traffic policy the limit value will still be exceeded in 2010. The number of exceedances at houses does decrease drastically (factor 15). To meet the limit values cost for possible local measures reduce then from a few billions to a few million euros. Just by carrying out European wide maximum emmission reduction and traffic policy, after implementing NMP4 in 2010, the limit values by houses will be met in 2015 for average meteorological conditions.
