SEPTEMBER 5, 2016

New research by scientists at King’s College London suggests that air pollution from London’s roads is improving overall but more work may be needed to tackle some sources of traffic pollution, which continue to breach limits in many parts of the city. No data was available to compare trends in ΔPM 2.5 between the two periods.
