What Dr Helen Wood has said
“We already knew that the ULEZ reduced air pollution but now we know that children's lung health has improved at the same time, which is a really important finding for children and parents living in London. However, we must not be complacent - air pollution in both London and Luton – as well as other cities across the UK – remains above WHO guideline levels, so there is still work to be done.”
