Detailed explanation-1: -British government ultimately passed the Clean Air Act four years later, in 1956, as a direct response to the lethal fog. The act established smoke-free areas throughout the city and restricted the burning of coal in domestic fires as well as in industrial furnaces.
Detailed explanation-2: -The UK Government’s Environment Act 2021 requires the Government to set legally binding environmental targets for England in four priority areas including air quality, as well as an additional target on fine particulate matter (PM2.5), as this is considered to be the air pollutant of greatest harm to human health.
Detailed explanation-3: -The UK has set stringent targets to cut emissions by 2020 and 2030. The goal is to reduce the harm to human health from air pollution by half. A robust evidence base, backed by the most up to date science is essential to help us achieve this.
Detailed explanation-4: -Smokeless zones were introduced as a direct result of the Clean Air Act. Many parts of the UK are now designated smoke control areas (also known as smokeless zones). In a smokeless zone you can only burn approved smokeless fuels such as Homefire, Ecoal50 or Phurnacite.
Detailed explanation-5: -Assertion : Government of India enacted the Air (Prevention and Control) act in 1981 to control and abate air pollution in India. Reason : The Government of India promotes and encourages the use of alternatives of fossil fuels for energy sources.
