London meets NO2 air quality standards thanks to the ULEZ
London now meets the NO2 air quality standards thanks largely to the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which includes minimum emissions standards for light-medium duty vehicles.
In 2019 it was estimated that without additional action it would take 193 years for London to meet these NO2 limits, but thanks to the air quality measures, the most significant of which is the ULEZ, this has been achieved in just nine years – 184 years early.
