Harmful air pollutants in diesel cars are 23% above London’s very low emissions zone (ULEZ), a new study reveals.
EDF Europe collected information on contaminants from 231 sites in London and tracked the degrees of poisonous nitrogen oxides (NOx).
It shows that the top five stalls are all outdoors, the ULEZ, which he brought in April 2019.
His government will rate diesel cars in central London, aiming to reduce emissions in some of the city’s most polluted areas.
The domain will run from central London to the north and south circular roads, still included, from October 2021.
But the new report raises a “red flag” for the government and lawmakers, as the expansion does not widen enough to reach spaces heavily polluted by diesel emissions, adding Brent, Kingston and Southall.
Experts are now calling for ULEZ to continue to further cover the capital and pollutants in some of the most disadvantaged areas.
231 sites studied in the area examined. Public aware of Breathe London NOx pollutants
The ULEZ is independent of the Low Emissions Zone (LEZ), which applies to London advertising cars.
LEZ is expected to put in place stricter emission criteria for heavy diesel cars as of October this year.
NOx contaminants are a major fear for exercise workers and is a generic term that includes nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which can cause physical condition disorders, such as airway inflammation, while aggravating existing lung and central diseases.
London has violated NO2’s legal limits since 2010 and last year revealed that more than 2 million Londoners lived in spaces beyond legal air limits, bringing up 400,000 children.
In addition to NOx, non-unusual diesel pollutants come with unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter: microscopic waste of matter.
Diesel cars emit more ultra-thin waste than any other vehicle, which is the most poisonous of polluting waste from the air.
The World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified diesel exhaust gases as carcinogenic to humans in 2012.
