Short summary
Our focus is the cumulative influence of biomass burning (BB) on PM2.5 concentrations in a country far-removed from major BB sources. We find that ~10% of UK annual mean PM2.5 is conditional on BB emissions, 97% and 73% from BB outside the UK and outside Europe. The majority of the long-range component is secondary, of which much of the inorganic is mediated through local anthropogenic emissions. The relative contribution of BB in such locations is an increasing challenge for PM2.5 targets.
