Improvements have been seen across the board, however the pace of such improvements in many has been assessed to be too slow with too little action having been implemented. Specifically, pollution in many urban areas remains poor with these areas going above legal limits set by the EU, leading to fines for the UK Government from the European Commission. This remains the greatest issue that both England and the wider UK faces in relation to air quality. The report was published in July 2018 and is part of an annual review into the national environment.
