Agriculture

Air pollution and agriculture reveals a significant two-way relationship that impacts both environmental and public health. Recent research shows that agriculture is responsible for 87% of ammonia emissions in the UK, whilst contributing between 25%-38% of PM2.5 particulate matter in major cities like London, Birmingham, and Leicester. These findings highlight how agricultural practices significantly influence urban air quality, making this sector a crucial focus for pollution reduction strategies. Discover the evidence linking farming activities to air pollution and what this means for both rural and urban communities.
