Emissions of key air pollutants, including PM 2.5, are compiled and reported by Defra on an annual basis through the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI), which can be found here: https://naei.beis.gov.uk/data/

The next update to the inventory, including emissions estimates for 2020 and updates to the historic time series, will be published in February 2022.
