Ulez Lung Study
Some really astonishing results in lung growth for the children in this study. Thanks to CAZ the children of Bristol will all grow up to be the competent wild swimmers we hoped for

“In the study, researchers recruited six to nine-year-olds attending primary schools in London's ultra low emission zone and followed the same children for five years, comparing them to similar children (in terms of socio-economic background, physical activity and ethnicity) in Luton.
Children in the study had annual lung function and capacity tests in the year before Ulez came in and for four years after.
Initial results showed children's lungs in London were smaller in capacity than those in Luton, which is less polluted than London but has a similar mix of pollutants.
At the end of the study the children's lung capacity reached near identical levels in both groups.”
