I was think more of NOx, a coal fired power station would pump out massive NOx but it doesnt cause the same issue as NOx in an urban environment
greentricky-
I was wondering about that,
and,
downloaded this
https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2015-11-26/17799/I struggled to understand the units for NOx,
then noted the question had been answered by Andrea Leadsom,
so gave up.

You're smerging air quality and co2 with that statement. See my previous comment.
A gas fired power station is not a major source of air quality type pollutants, but does pump out loads of climate change causing co2.
A diesel or petrol car manages to pump out both co2 and particulates and gasses that cause problems for human health.
Its really important that people understand the difference between Air Quality and CO2. Its the entire reason diesel was iniyally pushed (lower co2 than petrol) but now hated (generally worse for AQ).
