Dangers of illegal emissions levels

The dangers of potentially illegal emissions levels could be incredibly serious. The levels of emissions and pollutants that are allowed to be emitted are strictly controlled to protect human health and protect our environment. Dangerous gasses such as NOx can have a serious adverse effect on both human health and the environment, which is why it is important that emissions are carefully regulated.

If regulations are not upheld, more damage could be done. If more damage is being done, particularly in circumstances where the extent of the damage was not realised because of automotive giants cheating emissions regulations, you can see how serious this can be.

Defeat devices and the “dieselgate” scandal

The crux of the “dieselgate” scandals that started with the Volkswagen emissions matters that were first reported in the media in 2015 involved potentially illegal emissions levels being emitted. It is about technology that can amount to a so-called defeat device being used which could allow vehicles to pollute more dangerous NOx than was expected or anticipated. This was achieved by using technology that could allow vehicles to pass emissions testing whilst polluting far more in usual driving conditions.

As a result of the illegal emissions levels that have been polluted across the world, some scientists believe that there may have been thousands of extra premature deaths caused.

It is absolutely unacceptable for any company to break the law and intentionally deceive consumers and regulators. This is why we are here to pursue emissions compensation action on behalf of anyone who has bought or leased a vehicle that may have been affected by the “dieselgate” scandals.
