ULEZ Expansion in London Reduces Air Pollutants by 13%, Benefits 5 Million in Six Months
Jul 25, 2024, 06:23 AM
A new City Hall report reveals that the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) across London has led to a significant reduction in air pollutants. The initiative, which was expanded London-wide six months ago, has resulted in a 13% decrease in nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from cars compared to projections if the scheme had remained confined to inner London. The report highlights that five million more Londoners are now breathing cleaner air, with air quality improving faster than the average for the rest of England. Mayor Sadiq Khan stated that the decision to expand ULEZ was necessary to save lives and reduce health risks such as asthma and dementia. The data shows that the ULEZ expansion is working better than expected, contributing positively to public health and the environment.
