The Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP) work programme is agreed annually to ensure this meets changing priorities. The committee is not scheduled to engage in further work on the differential health effects of particulate air pollution according to source or components. The Committee\u2019s work programme is reviewed annually to ensure that the work is based on existing priorities. Current topics being considered by COMEAP are available at the following link:<\/p>

This was based on studies reporting associations of mortality risk with fine particulate matter (PM2.5<\/sub>) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2<\/sub>). Further information is available at the following link:<\/p> <\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nitrogen-dioxide-effects-on-mortality<\/a><\/p> <\/p> Recent 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.
