Heavily polluting vehicles will have to pay to enter the metropolitan area of London from next year, the British capital's mayor said on Friday.

Sadiq Khan said the ultra-low emission zone would be expanded from 29 August beyond its current confines, to take in the entire nine million people of Greater London.

The zone has already been expanded once since it was introduced in April 2019, and today covers a large area within London's North and South Circular inner ring-roads and the city centre.READ | Petrol cars first registered after 2005, and diesel cars after September 2015, typically meet the ULEZ standards for nitrous oxide emissions and are exempt.

Air pollution is"affecting children before they're even born, and giving them lifelong health issues", the campaign group Mums for Lungs tweeted.Billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg, a UN climate envoy and former mayor of New York, said Khan was"helping to clean London's air and set an example for cities around the world".
