Abstract

The Children’s Health in London and Luton (CHILL) cohort was established to investigate the impact of London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) on children’s health. Key strengths of CHILL include: the parallel prospective cohort, natural experimental design in which children living in London (exposed to the ULEZ) and children living in Luton (not exposed to a ULEZ or other major air-pollution control measure) are followed over time and compared; its large size (compared with similar studies) and ethnic diversity; high-resolution air pollution exposure data; and objective physiological measurements of lung function.
