To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what evidential basis her Department used to determine the air quality targets in the Environment Improvement Plan 2023; and for what reasons these targets differ from World Health Organisation guidelines.
This question was answered on 16th March 2023
We have published reports and an impact assessment as part of the process of setting air quality targets on our UK Air website: Air Quality Targets in the Environment Act - Defra, UK. The Environmental Improvement Plan establishes our first interim targets and outlines the actions that we will take to meet them.
