<p>The Department continues to work collaboratively across the Government to address
the impact of air pollution. We are taking significant and wide-ranging action to
drive improvements to air quality, as set out in the Department for Environment, Food
and Rural Affairs’ Environmental Improvement Plan. The United Kingdom Health Security
Agency’s (UKHSA) Cleaner Air Programme also aims to help reduce people’s exposure
to air pollution, tackle disparities in exposure, and improve outcomes for all, including
through increasing the evidence base and improving awareness and understanding of
the health impacts of air pollution. The UKHSA has published a study quantifying the
health burden in the population of England from key respiratory conditions associated
with residential exposures to damp, mould, and formaldehyde.</p>
