Several UK cities have introduced a #CleanAirZone. Cities with a CAZ fared slightly better in the 2021-2023 period (11% drop ) than those without (5% drop, excluding Sheffield as data not available). Apologies for the small sample sizes, so this analysis should be taken with a grain of salt. #AirPollution #LetPompeyBreathe https://greenpompey.org.uk/let-pompey-breathe/2024/12/19/effect-of-clean-air-zones-on-uk-cities/

Provisional data provided by #Portsmouth City Council has shown that pollution levels last year have slightly dropped to 2020 levels.

Two annual reports detailing #AirQuality in #Portsmouth landed on my desk for 2021 and 2022. Why the council could not provide this under my pending FOI is still a mystery. https://greenpompey.org.uk/let-pompey-breathe/2023/06/02/new-portsmouth-air-quality-data-published/ #LetPompeyBreathe
