Healthy Air Campaign - The case for more ambitious clean air targets to reduce PM2.5 pollution to 10 µg/m3 by 2030

Briefing by partners of the Healthy Air Campaign coalition in response to the UK Government's consultation on new clean air targets under the 2021 Environment Act.

The coalition is urging MPs to push for the targets adopted by government to level up much more rapid protections for everybody’s health across the country, by including a commitment to reduce annual average PM_2.5 concentrations to within 10µg /m³ by 2030 at the latest. This should come with longer term ambition to achieve concentrations of this harmful pollutant that are within the latest 5 µg/m³ guideline level recommended by the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) in 2021.
