Berlin and other German cities tighten particulate emissions rules for road vehicles. Germans tighten road vehicle exhaust rules - Three German cities - Berlin, Cologne and Hanover - have introduced "environmental zones" to reduce fine particle emissions from traffic.

But a new study indicates that chronic exposure to noise from cars and trucks can boost the risk for stroke, especially among the elderly.
Mette Sørensen, senior researcher at the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology, Danish Cancer Society in Copenhagen, Denmark, and colleagues studied 51,485 people in the Copenhagen and Aarhus areas between 1993 and 1997. For every 10 decibels of noise, the stroke risk increased by 4 percent, they found. Autism: Proximity to freeways increases autism risk, study finds - latimes.com. Children born to mothers who live close to freeways have twice the risk of autism, researchers reported Thursday.
The study, its authors say, adds to evidence suggesting that certain environmental exposures could play a role in causing the disorder in some children. "This study isn't saying exposure to air pollution or exposure to traffic causes autism," said Heather Volk, lead author of the paper and a researcher at the Saban Research Institute of Children's Hospital Los Angeles. "But it could be one of the factors that are contributing to its increase.
