answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2024 answer text <p>The estimates for the fraction of mortality attributable to particulate air pollution, measured as PM2.5, are published every year. Data for 2022 will be published later this year. The fraction of mortality attributable to particulate air pollution indicator represents the percentage of annual deaths from all causes in those aged 30 and older attributed to PM2.5.</p><p>Annual numbers of deaths attributable to particulate air pollution are not calculated each year. The published estimate for England for 2019 was 26,000 to 38,000 deaths for adults aged 30 and over. For the United Kingdom, the published estimate for 2019 was 29,000 to 43,000 deaths for adults aged 30 and over.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 17/01/2024 14:45:38 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/05/2023 answer text <p>An estimate of deaths attributable to long-term exposure to air pollution can be made by multiplying the fraction of mortality attributable to air pollution by the total number of deaths annually. The fraction of mortality attributable to particulate air pollution is estimated through the adjustment of the unit relative risk factor (1.08), recommended for use in quantifying mortality associated with long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (COMEAP, 2022), to the air pollution levels.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 25/05/2023 16:47:24 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

uin	181818
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2023 answer text <p>Long-term exposure to air pollution is understood to contribute to the risk of dying from certain conditions. The annual number of ‘attributable deaths’ associated with long-term average concentrations of pollutants is not an estimate of the number of people whose untimely death is caused entirely by air pollution. Instead, it is a way of representing the effect of air pollution across the whole population.</p><p>Causes of death on death certificates record the sequence of medical conditions and relevant events leading to, or contributing to, the death, based on the deceased's healthcare records and other available information, such as laboratory tests or post-mortem investigation. Generally, it is unusual for wider risk factors, such as exposure to air pollution, to be recorded among causes of death.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 25/04/2023 15:43:24 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
