London’s Ulez linked to lower hospital admissions. New research from Imperial College London links the schemes with an 8.1% reduction in yearly trends for cardiovascular disease, 6.2% for respiratory disease and 3.1% for all cause hospital admissions in central London. #pollution #cars #ulez SeeAlt

London’s Ulez linked to lower hospital admissions London’s ultra low emissions zone (Ulez) has been credited with a sharp fall in the number of people admitted to hospital for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. The Ulez launched in 2019 to cut air pollution in the capital. It imposes a daily fee on vehicles that fail to meet emissions standards and replaced the toxicity charge, which was introduced in 2017. New research from Imperial College London links the schemes with an 8.1% reduction in yearly trends for cardiovascular disease, 6.2% for respiratory disease and 3.1% for all cause hospital admissions in central London. “While we need to take caution in how scientific findings for such a complex issue may be interpreted, these results are broadly supportive of the potential for similar interventions in other cities to have positive impacts on health,” said Daniela Fecht, an associate professor at Imperial. Imperial’s findings come a week after a study suggested that China’s embrace of electric cars has prevented around 262,000 deaths from air pollution. Image: Shashank Sahay
