Emissions of key air pollutants are compiled and reported by Defra on an annual basis through the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI). The data for 2019 is publicly available and was reported on 15 February 2021, via: https://naei.beis.gov.uk/data/
Emissions specifically from bonfires, fire pits and pizza ovens are not estimated in the inventory.
