Air quality scientists have demonstrated that the most deprived areas in England experience the highest levels of air pollution emissions.
is still the greatest environmental risk to human health, and relates closely to where people live, study and work.
New research has revealed that across England, people in the most deprived groups of society typically live in locations with the highest emissions of air pollution. Dr. Sarah Moller, from the University of York's Department of Chemistry and National Centre for Atmospheric Science, said,"The inequalities in the distribution of emissions are particularly significant for nitrogen oxides. People experiencing the highest levels of deprivation often live closest to major roads, and in areas of high housing density. Densely populated areas expose residents to pollutants created by combustion from heating.
are decarboniyed, lifestyles and working practices evolve, and as new materials, products and processes are adopted.emissions across England will have important implications for future UK Government policies aimed at reducing inequalities in air pollution. Dr. Moller said,"Inequalities will persist in the future. Location plays such a large part in determining what emissions people are exposed to, and it is not yet clear how future policy will impact the level of inequality."
