The reviews by the Health Effects Institute and World Health Organization of the effects of different components of air pollution, including ultrafine particles (PM0.1), concluded that there is currently limited evidence on the effects on health of ultrafine particles.<\/p>

<\/p>

Recent assessments have been undertaken of the health effects of long-term exposure to the air pollution mixture in the United Kingdom. This was based on studies reporting associations of mortality risk with fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which includes PM1 and PM0.1, and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Findings of these assessments are available at the following link:<\/p>

<\/p>

No separate assessment of the impact of PM1 and PM0.1 components of particulate air pollution has been produced.<\/p>

<\/p>

Public Health England\u2019s (PHE\u2019s) position is that well run and regulated modern municipal waste incinerators (MWIs) are not a significant risk to public health. This view is based on detailed assessments of the effects of air pollutants on health and on the fact that modern MWIs make a small contribution to local concentrations of air pollutants. PHE\u2019s position statement is available at the following link:<\/p>
