Air Quality Standards Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010
This regulation transposes EU Directive 2008/50/EC and related directives to establish air quality standards for key pollutants and require government to develop air quality plans demonstrating how standards will be achieved and maintained. The government must provide public information on daily pollutant levels and annual results reports.
The Air Quality Standards Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 transpose EU Directive 2008/50/EC on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe and include certain provisions of Directive 2004/107/EC relating to arsenic, cadmium, mercury, nickel and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in ambient air, and Council Decision 97/101/EC on the exchange of information. The objective of this legislation is to ensure government takes appropriate steps to improve air quality by reducing the impact of air pollution on human health and ecosystems by setting standards for key pollutants, and provide air quality plans which demonstrate how air quality standards will be achieved and maintained. The government will make available to the public up to date information on a daily basis of recorded levels of pollutants and annual reports of results.
