Putting clean air laws in to practice – report shows potential for improvement

Putting clean air laws in to practice – report shows potential for improvement Air-related legislation in the EU aims to protect human health and the environment from pollution. But this legislation is not always fully implemented. Bridging this gap is the subject of a new publication from the European Environment Agency (EEA).

Air Implementation Pilot - Lessons learnt from the implementation of air quality legislation at urban level

Air Implementation Pilot - Lessons learnt from the implementation of air quality legislation at urban level Almost three quarters of Europeans live in cities. The air quality in our cities is therefore of significant importance to the health of Europeans. Considerable progress has been made in the past twenty years in improving urban air quality, but issues remain. A number of different air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and ozone remain above regulated levels, posing a threat to human health. This report describes a European pilot project to help identify and address the reasons underlying this 'gap' in implementation of air quality policy in 12 European cities, and thereby draw lessons of wider relevance.

The air implementation pilot project

The air implementation pilot project The Air Implementation Pilot was a project undertaken jointly by the EEA and the European Commission. It was one of two pilot projects (the other one relates to waste management) called for by Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik at the June 2011 meeting of the EEA Management Board. Both projects sought to explore an enhanced role for the EEA in supporting the implementation of the European Union’s environment policy.
