there's air pollution everywhere no matter where you go there's air pollution.
the UK
In the UK, air pollution contributes to around 5% of all deaths annually. Pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter from vehicles and industry are major contributors to poor air quality in urban areas. Efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality are ongoing.
Over population, industry, littler, car emissions.... just to name a few in general reasons of pollution
the european union told them to clean the air or pay an expencive fine. :/
The UK made the smokeless zones to prevent any acid rain.
The UK WEEE regulations include regulations for batteries. There are also regulations to protect the environment from water, land, and air pollution by companies.
air pollution travels in the air
The high air pollution across central and southern England and parts of Wales is due to light easterly winds bringing pollutants from the continent and allowing local pollution to linger close to where it is produced.
Air quality in the UK is measured using a network of monitoring stations that measure various pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. The data collected from these stations is then used to calculate air quality indices which provide information on the level of pollution in the air and its potential effects on health. This information is made publicly available to raise awareness and inform actions to improve air quality.

Pollution in the UK has significant effects on public health, contributing to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular issues, and reduced life expectancy. It also harms ecosystems, affecting biodiversity and the health of wildlife. Additionally, air and water pollution can lead to economic costs, including healthcare expenses and loss of productivity. Climate change, driven in part by pollution, further exacerbates environmental challenges faced by the UK.
