Las ZBE funcionan #358

Low Emission Zones (LEZs) work. Today we have the example of London, which has had its LEZ in operation for seven years and has proven to reduce CO2 levels by 41% and fine particulate matter levels by 28%. This has led to a reduction of premature deaths related to pollution by almost half, and has also reduced hospital emergency room admissions by 9% for cardiovascular conditions, 6% for respiratory conditions, and 5% for all causes. LEZs are health. References: End of the deadline to implement the ZBE #324 https://www.podcastidae.com/el-charco...
