Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to modelling by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute as part of the review of the Gothenburg Protocol, what estimate she has made of accumulated population exposure in the UK from fine particulate matter at (a) five, (b) six, (c) seven, (d) eight, (e) nine and (f) 10 micrograms per cubic metre in (i) 2015 and (ii) 2030.

UK representatives attended the Eighth Joint Session of the EMEP Steering Body and Working Group on Effects meeting in September, where a summary of the EMEP status report was presented and the Review report of the Gothenburg Protocol. All of the outputs from Norwegian Meteorological Institute carried out as part of MSC-West under the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution can be found at https://www.emep.int/mscw/. We will consider the results from the reports.
