PM2.5’s (small particle emissions) are down 31% in outer London compared to what would have been without the Ulez expansion.Speaking to the Guardian, Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said, “When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London’s air pollution within legal limits if the current efforts continued. However, due to our transformative policies we are now close to achieving it this year.” <a href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/london-begins-to-breathe-better/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[Via Ethical Revolution]</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/tag/airquality/" target="_blank">#AirQuality</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/tag/london/" target="_blank">#London</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/tag/nitrogendioxide/" target="_blank">#NitrogenDioxide</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/tag/pm25s/" target="_blank">#PM25s</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/tag/ulez/" target="_blank">#ULEZ</a>
