Impact of selected policy measures on Europe's air quality

The main objective of the present study is to analyse
and quantify the effects that certain past policy
measures in the road transport and industrial
combustion facilities have had on the magnitude of
air pollutant emissions and subsequent air quality in
Europe. The policies selected are the Euro emission
standards for road vehicles and the EU directives on
Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC)
and large combustion plants (LCP).
