Low-emission zones (LEZs) have been implemented widely in Europe to tackle air pollution sourced from vehicular emissions. We quantify the effectiveness of the world's largest LEZ—London's LEZ—in reducing its target pollutant, PM10. Using a difference-in-difference (DID) framework, we find ...
The London Mayor’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and other bold policies to tackle air pollution will save the NHS (National Health Service) around £5 billion and more than one million hospital admissions over the next 30 years. The figures are from a new report looking at the long-t...
Cities around the world are trying to clean up the air people breathe. One way of doing this is introducing low emission zones, which restrict or ban polluting cars. Last year, London introduced the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)...
Background: Low Emission Zones are a novel public health intervention to address the adverse effects of traffic pollution on health. We investigated the association between traffic derived air pollutants and lung function in 8–9 year old children living in London's Low Emission Zone.Methods: Seque...
or c) pay the princely sum of £12.50. Low-emission zones of one sort or another are either already running or coming into effect in Birmingham, Oxford and Bath – as well as hundreds of cities across Europe – but we’ll stick to the London one, given that it’s the ...

improve air quality. Vehicles travelling within these zones are now required to meet tighter emission standards equivalent to Euro 6/VI. There are a number of different zones implemented in the UK, including Clean Air Zones, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zones (LEZs)....
Low Emission Zones Low Emission Zones have been in place in Sweden since 1996, when Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo introduced ‘Environmental Zones’ in their city centres, with the purpose of improving air quality and reducing noise. The zones target all diesel lorries and buses over 3.5 ...
as a one stop shop for customers who are looking for more sustainable solutions while completing work at height. This will be essential in the years ahead, particularly for projects in cities like London that need to meet non-road mobile machinery requirements in Ultra Low Emission Zones.” ...
