  • A complete transition to clean household energy can save one–quarter of the healthy life lost to particulate matter pollution exposure in India

    Open AccessLuke Conibear, Edward Butt et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a leading contributor to the disease burden in India, largely due to widespread household solid fuel use. The transition from solid to clean fuels in households has the potential to substantially improve public health. India has implemented large initiatives to promote clean fuel access, but how these initiatives will reduce PM 2.5 exposure and the associated health benefits have not yet been estab…

  • Impact on air quality and health due to the Saddleworth Moor fire in northern England

    Open AccessAilish M Graham, Richard J Pope et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    On June 24th 2018 one of the largest UK wildfires in recent history broke out on Saddleworth Moor, close to Manchester, in north-west England. Since wildfires close to large populations in the UK have been relatively small and rare in the past, there is little knowledge about the impacts. This has prevented the development of effective strategies to reduce them. This paper uses a high-resolution coupled atmospheric-chemistry model to assess the i…

  • Global and regional trends in particulate air pollution and attributable health burden over the past 50 years

    Open AccessEdward Butt, E W Butt et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM2.5, mass of particles with an aerodynamic dry diameter of < 2.5 μm) is a major risk factor to the global burden of disease. Previous studies have focussed on present day or future health burdens attributed to ambient PM2.5. Few studies have estimated changes in PM2.5 and attributable health burdens over the last few decades, a period where air quality has changed rapidly. Here we used the HadGE…

  • The impact of synoptic weather on UK surface ozone and implications for premature mortality

    Open AccessRichard J Pope, Edward Butt et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Air pollutants, such as ozone, have adverse impacts on human health and cause, for example, respiratory and cardiovascular problems. In the United Kingdom (UK), peak surface ozone concentrations typically occur in the spring and summer and are controlled by emission of precursor gases, tropospheric chemistry and local meteorology which can be influenced by large-scale synoptic weather regimes. In this study we composite surface and satellite obse…

  • The impact of European legislative and technology measures to reduce air pollutants on air quality, human health and climate

    Open AccessSteven T Turnock, Edward Butt et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    European air quality legislation has reduced emissions of air pollutants across Europe since the 1970s, affecting air quality, human health and regional climate. We used a coupled composition-climate model to simulate the impacts of European air quality legislation and technology measures implemented between 1970 and 2010. We contrast simulations using two emission scenarios; one with actual emissions in 2010 and the other with emissions that wou…
