Science - Mathematics & Statistics / super-polluters
Spanish term or phrase: "con diferencia"
This is about the super-polluters, i.e. buses and lorries/trucks.

A los "superpolluters" se les aprecia normalmente a simple vista, sobre todo cuando aceleran o suben una cuesta y vemos salir por su tubo de escape una nube de humo"....El nuevo estudio confirma que los "superpolluters" son, "con diferencia", los vehículos que emiten mayor cantidad de nanopartículas. Si se eliminaran de la circulación, concluye el informe, se podría reducir hasta un 25% la concentración de "superficie activa total"...

Thank you!
