Glasgow's low emission zone is improving air quality: Study (phys.org)

New research exploring the effects of the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in Glasgow has found that while traffic flow has remained largely unchanged since the Zone was enforced, air quality has improved.

The study found a statistically significant reduction in traffic flow on High Street during weekdays resulting in notable decreases in normalized NO2 levels of between 25% and 27% on weekdays. A 35% drop of NO2 on weekends was also observed.

In contrast, traffic patterns on Hope Street remained stable, yet statistically significant decreases in NO2 levels of between 9% and 13% on weekdays were still observed, suggesting the establishment of the LEZ discourages high emission vehicles in the city center and helps improve air quality.
