The impact of air pollution

  • Air pollution is a mixture of particles and gases

  • Impacts relate to short and long term exposure
  • Role in range of health issues; cancer, asthma,

stroke, heart disease, diabetes

Sources of air pollution

  • Man made sources include

transport, household burning or solid fuels and industrial activities.

  • Highest levels seen at source
  • Particulate matter (PM) and

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) have greatest impact on health

  • No safe threshold

Air Quality in Derbyshire

  • Mortality and morbidity attributed to air

quality is calculated as equivalent to 402 deaths and 4041 life years lost.

  • Air Quality Management Areas;
  • Chesterfield one AQMA on

Church Street, Brimington

  • Erewash two AQMAs East of

M1 motorway in Sandiacre and Long Eaton

  • Bolsover two AQMAs at

Barlborough next to the M1 and

  • ne on Chesterfield Road;

Conclusion

  • Modest decreases in air pollution can lead to

population impacts

  • Interventions can deliver wider health and economic

benefits

  • Growing evidence base of measures to support

reductions including return on investment tools

  • Measures needed on population and local level
  • LEV strategy support reductions in NO2 reductions
  • Measures to support model shift and move from

solid fuels support PM reductions
