New independent data shows that, between 2019 and 2024, deaths linked to air pollution in London have fallen by around 40% β with nitrogen dioxide down 41%, and fine particle pollution down 28%. That's thanks to bold clean air policies including ULEZ, the world's largest zone of its kind, introduced by Sir Sadiq Khan. As a doctor, that's not just numbers β it means fewer kids with asthma attacks, fewer emergency heart admissions, and toxic air's even been linked to dementia risk. There's still more to do β pollution still contributes to thousands of early deaths a year in London. But this shows what happens when a city takes bold action on public health.
