Promoting cleaner air for future generations.
Assessing Urban Air Quality: Scientific Insights into NO₂ Pollution in London
Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) pollution remains a significant environmental and public health concern in London, primarily attributed to emissions from road transport, particularly diesel vehicles. Elevated concentrations of NO₂ are associated with adverse respiratory effects, including reduced lung function and increased exacerbation of asthma, especially in children and individuals with pre-existing conditions. Monitoring data from urban roadside locations frequently indicate NO₂ levels that exceed both UK Air Quality Standards and World Health Organization guidelines. Although interventions such as low-emission zones have contributed to localized improvements, ambient NO₂ concentrations in several areas remain above target thresholds. Continued assessment of emission sources, atmospheric dispersion patterns, and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies is essential to inform data-driven approaches for reducing urban NO₂ exposure
