There are serious life-shortening consequences of breathing polluted air
by Dr Karine Nohr
A British landmark study of over 3,400 London children aged between 6 and 9 years old measured the impact of air quality improvement following the introduction of London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and found that reduced emissions are strongly associated with accelerated lung growth in children. Just published by one of the global leading medical journals, the ‘Lancet Public Health’ , the ‘CHILL’ study is one that all of us, everywhere, need to understand.
The study measured the health of children’s lungs living in areas that would subsequently become low-emission traffic zones and then re-measured annually for 5 years after the introduction of ULEZ.
Prior to the study, children living in these traffic areas had reduced lung size and reduced lung function.
Key findings of the study were that after the introduction of ULEZ, London children not only had reversed stunting of the growth of their lungs, with many of them coming back up to the normal size expected for their lungs, but they also had increased lung capacity. The proportion of London children suffering from clinically impaired lung capacity had dropped significantly.
This is such an important finding for protecting the health of our children.
This study provides strong evidence that traffic-related air pollution is a serious risk factor for lung disease and early death and behoves us all to take the impact of our use of fossil fuels very seriously, driving being the most significant contributant of air pollution.
Despite controversy, Sheffield Councillors introduced a CAZ in 2023, and pollution levels have dropped sharply.
Dr Laura-Jane Smith, a London consultant in Respiratory Medicine, sees patients every day in her clinics who are fighting for their breath. She said that her adult patients who live in the ULEZ area are also reporting that they are breathing better and they are having fewer flare-ups that could see them end up in hospital.
Now there is clear proof of how much harm is done to the lungs by vehicle use. So should we all start asking ourselves, ‘How essential is it for me to make this journey by car?’
The argument that has been used by some car drivers that any driving restrictions are ‘infringements of their rights’ must be weighed against infringement of the right of the rest of us, particularly children, but also adults, the right to breathe clean air, and the serious life-shortening consequences of breathing polluted air.

A piece nominally about #Bradford's #CleanAirZone.
It started with a friend in #Saltaire flagging long-running health studies of children born in Bradford — and the way the Aire Valley's shape concentrates pollution.
Titus Salt built Saltaire in the 1850s to escape Bradford's foul air. 150 years later, a trunk road runs through same valley that now traps traffic's exhaust. Debate argues about charge; valley barely gets a mention.

I had a theory that what he wanted was for HMG to enforce a charging #CleanAirZone so he could turn round and say “nasty central government made me…” Of course, if he’d just got on with it the fuss would have been forgotten about by now.

This is why urban areas need a combination of a #CleanAirZone to get rid of the worst polluting vehicles, and a #CongestionCharge to reduce the total, and generate money to pay for public transport and #ActiveTravel alternatives. Do our politicians have the will and leadership to act?

"After one year of the zone, nitrogen dioxide from traffic was lower, GP visits for respiratory illnesses were down by 25% and those for heart problems decreased by 24%. This added up to an average of 732 fewer visits a month, compared with pre-Covid levels, and the trend showed that benefits were increasing over time."
