Low-emission zones linked to improved air quality in Belgian cities

1 comment

1. The researchers collected air samples from Brussels and Antwerp, which have recently put LEZs in place, and compared air quality from before and after the LEZs were defined, along with other parts of the city and other cities in Belgium.

   The team found that levels of both particle pollution and nitrogen declined more rapidly in the LEZs than in other parts of the same city and similar parts of other cities. They also found that reductions could be observed as far away from the zones as 5 kilometers.
