1 in 10 lung cancer cases in the UK are related to exposure to\u00a0ambient air pollution, according to the report from\u00a0<\/span>The International Agency for Research on\u00a0Cancer\u00a0(IARC)\u00a0<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those particles in air pollutants are small enough to be inhaled deeply into the lung and then cause chronic disease and around 40,000 deaths each year in the UK are caused by air pollution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

PM 2.5\u00a0is often described as \u2018particles of less than 2.5 micrometres in diameter\u2019 and its concentration is used as the evaluation of air quality.\u00a0<\/span>Average PM2.5 concentration in UK is around 15\u00a0\u03bcg\/m3 which is higher\u00a0to the World Health Organization’s recommended limit of 10 micrograms per cubic metre.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A 10-\u03bcg\/m3 incremental increase in long-term average ambient PM2.5 concentrations is associated with approximately a 6% increased risk of all-cause mortality and a 15% increased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality, according to a 2013 meta-analysis of studies.<\/span><\/p>\n
