Air Pollution: Greater Manchester
(asked on 23rd March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many deaths have been attributed to air pollution in Greater Manchester in each of the last five years.
The fraction of annual all-cause adult mortality attributable to anthropogenic (human-made) particulate air pollution (measured as fine particulate matter, PM2.5) is provided by the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) indicator 3.01.
This calculates the mortality burden associated with long-term exposure to anthropogenic particulate air pollution at current levels, expressed as the percentage of annual deaths from all causes in those aged over 30.
The following table shows the fraction of mortality (%) attributable to particulate air pollution extracted from the PHOF 3.01 indicator, for the period 2010-2015, for England, North West and areas within the Greater Manchester Area (GMA), as GMA is not an administrative area.
