The study found that sectors like shipping, aviation, and construction face much weaker legal controls on emissions compared to home heating or cars.
Air pollution rules are far weaker in some industries than others, according to new research from the University of York. The study looked at legal limits for nitrogen oxides pollutants that come from engines, flues, and chimneys and include harmful nitrogen dioxide, which is a serious issue in many UK cities.
The researchers behind this study compared different engines, turbines, and boilers - ranging from small household boilers to large power stations, ships, and aircraft - based on how much pollution they produce per unit of energy.
