Restrictions on older, more polluting vehicles are associated with improved lung health in children. A new study found that improvements in air quality have helped to boost lung growth in children, which was previously stunted due to air pollution. The study followed the introduction of an Ultra Low Emission Zone in 2019.

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London led the study, which suggests a link between reduced air pollution and better lung health in children. The study's findings are seen as important for children and parents.

Further details on the study and its findings are available from the source, including comments from the study's lead author, a research fellow at Queen Mary University of London.
