Bucharest City Hall announced that it placed two air-quality plans for 2026-2030 under public consultation, proposing restrictions on polluting vehicles and support for replacing wood- and coal-based heating systems. The measures would require approval from the General Council before taking effect.
“The pollution level in Bucharest is alarming: 4 times above the maximum values,” the City Hall said in a Facebook post. “We must act as quickly as possible, for our health.”
