<p>The World Health Organisation guidelines do not form part of EU agreed targets
for emissions or concentration reductions, and therefore will not be included in negotiations
on the UK leaving the EU. The UK has met all legally binding EU limits for particulate
matter (PM10 and PM2.5) since 2009.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We are proposing
to do more than the EU requires. In our Clean Air Strategy, we have set out a new
goal to halve the number of people living where concentrations of fine particulate
matter (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) are above the World Health Organisation guideline level
of 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2025. We are the first major developed economy
to set goals based on WHO guidelines.</p><p> </p>
