The analysis by Solve the School Run indicates that driving children to private schools results in a 27% rise in air pollution and congestion in South London.
Ben Barratt, a professor at Imperial College London, commented on the data analysis, stating that although exact numbers may vary, there is a strong association with increased pollution when private schools are in session.
Nicola Pastore, co-founder of Solve the School Run, argues that on days when only state schools are open, traffic is lighter and there are significant reductions in noise and pollution.
The research shows that the presence of private schools during peak hours contributes not only to air pollution but also to delays in public transportation, affecting local commuters.
