Detailed explanation-1: -London becomes world’s first city to implement 24×7 pollution charge zone - GKToday.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first ultra low emission zone (ULEZ) was launched in 2019 across London’s inner boroughs. It was last expanded in 2021 to 18 times its original size. Today, 4 million Londoners breathe cleaner air as a result. Next year’s Ultra Low Emission Zone expansion will more than quadruple the existing area.
Detailed explanation-3: -£12.50 for most vehicle types, including cars, motorcycles and vans (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) £100 for heavier vehicles, including lorries (over 3.5 tonnes) and buses/coaches (over 5 tonnes)
Detailed explanation-4: -Air pollution affects everyone who lives and works in London. The most vulnerable groups like children, older people and those with heart and respiratory conditions are most affected. People living in deprived areas are also more affected by poor air quality, partly because these areas are often near busy roads.
Detailed explanation-5: -An earlier study published in 2021 by Imperial College found modest improvements in nitrogen dioxide levels in London following the ULEZ introduction but that other long-term measures had contributed more to improved air quality in the capital.
