About this data
- 'Burning fuel at home' is the inventory's domestic combustion sector: households burning wood, coal, smokeless fuels and other solid fuels in stoves and open fires, plus gas and oil for heating.
- Road transport PM2.5 includes exhaust and, increasingly, particles from tyre and brake wear and road surfaces, which electric vehicles also produce.
- 'Industrial processes and products' covers production processes such as steelmaking, quarrying and construction, and the use of products such as solvents.
- 'Other sources' includes non-road transport (shipping in UK waters, rail, aviation and off-road machinery), commercial and public sector heating, waste and fuel extraction.
