Abstract

This document provides a comprehensive overview of the implications of more stringent PM_2.5 targets on air quality and public health in the West Midlands. By examining the sources and levels of PM_2.5 pollution, exploring potential air quality scenarios and strategies, and estimating the health burden, this document seeks to inform stakeholders and decision makers in their efforts to improve air quality and reduce associated health risks and inequalities. The document is structured as follows:

• Health Risks and Inequalities Associated with Exposure to PM_2.5 Pollution
• Sources of PM_2.5 in the West Midlands
• New Air Quality Targets and Interim Goals for PM_2.5
• Modelled PM_2.5 Concentrations in the West Midlands
• Air Quality Scenarios for the West Midlands: Potential Impacts of Policy Decisions
• Estimated Health Burden of Air Pollution in the West Midlands
• Opportunities and Challenges
• Strategies and Initiatives for Improving Air Quality and Public Health in the West Midlands
