Really good to see this research published by @globalactionplan.bsky.social, Ricardo and @hertscc.bsky.social today. Domestic combustion is a major source of fine particle pollution in the UK, and this new research shows we could save the NHS more than £54m a year if unnecessary burning was stopped.

Global Action Plan @globalactionplan.bsky.social · 5d

BREAKING: Our research with Ricardo and @hertscc.bsky.social reveals that air pollution from burning in the home contributes to nearly 2,500 deaths across the UK each year.

But they are totally false, and no such curfew is being proposed.

Healthy Air Coalition UK @healthyairuk.bsky.social · 5d

We're disappointed to read the government response to the OEP this week. How can it be possible for EU to work towards the lower pollution levels recommended by @who.int, but not the UK?

⏰ Time for the government to stop prevaricating over an #AirPollution health crisis. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Image of recommendation 14 from the OEP's annual report, and the government's response.

Text reads: OEP recommendation 14
If legal air quality standards are to better protect public health, the government should consider reviewing those standards set out in current legislation and appraise options to bring them more in line with World Health Organization guidelines and equivalent legal standards recently adopted by the EU. This review could also consider whether the two EA21 targets on PM2.5 annual mean concentrations and reduction in population exposure set sufficiently ambitious deadlines to drive improvement, given the two EA21 interim target levels have been met.

Government’s response to recommendation 14
The government rejects this recommendation.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) air quality guidelines are intended to inform the setting of air quality standards. The WHO guidelines are not ready-made targets for direct adoption as they do not consider achievability or individual countries’ circumstances. However, we will consider WHO guidelines and other countries targets as part of an evidence led process when considering future long-term targets.

Further, the revised EIP will clarify Environment Act target delivery plans and update their corresponding interim targets. It is acknowledged that EA21 interim targets for PM2.5 annual mean concentrations and population exposure reductions were met in 2023.
