 Relationships between temperature, heart disease and pneumonia and rainfall and heart disease. Seasonal mortality has declined possibly due to increased use of central heating. The elderly experience the greatest increase in deaths each winter. In the winter of 2007/08 there were 19,400 more deaths among those aged 75 and over, compared to levels in the non-winter period. In contrast, there were 5,900 more deaths among those under the age of 75.has declined

 Linked to this is air pollution which according to one report may be more damaging to health in large urban areas than the radiation exposure suffered by survivors of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Also it is possible that air pollution is responsible for 24,000 premature deaths in Britain every year and that children living within 500m of motorways suffered more permanent lung damage and lower life expectancy, probably because of their greater exposure to pollutants in vehicle fumes. one report
