The assessment included identifying the causes of air pollution and the impacts on the natural environment and people. This included a comprehensive stocktake of 108 current and emerging air quality pollutants, an assessment of the risk they pose and a synthesis of ways to reduce pollution. A register was also compiled of recommendations to government and commitments made by government for improving air quality in England and Northern Ireland.
