Read our privacy policy The expansion of London’s ultra-low emission zone will add 13 minutes to the life expectancy of the average Londoner this year, according to new analysis. This is despite the mayor’s own impact assessment, published in 2022, predicting it will cause only a “minor reduction” of 1.3% in the average Londoner’s exposure to nitrogen dioxide.
