Filtreo: a bus shelter to contribute to the reduction of urban pollution

AIR POLLUTION: A MAJOR CONCERN FOR CITIES

Air pollution is a major concern for cities, given its consequences for human health and the environment.

The R&D department of JCDecaux developed the Filtreo bus shelter in response to a study commissioned from the INRA (French national institute for agronomic research), which highlighted the possible impact of urban greening on air pollution. Filtreo is designed to reduce passengers’ exposure to pollutants, particularly fine particles, at the kerbside. This is where concentrations are highest.
