What are the effects on health of transport-related airpollution.
By imposing a daily fee on cars built before 2006, the LEZ changes behaviors encouraging the use of newer cleaner vehicles, and reducing tailpipe global warning gases which in turn reduces broader airpollution and its associated health risks. really, why?) using 1,175 cameras to monitor which cars enter and exit the zone.
