EU Ambient Air Quality Directive

The EU Ambient Air Quality Directive sets standards to protect public health and the environment from air pollution, such as pollutants like nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. It requires EU countries to monitor air quality, establish action plans if pollutants exceed safe levels, and report data regularly. The goal is to reduce harmful emissions from sources like traffic, industries, and agriculture, ensuring cleaner air for everyone. This regulatory framework helps governments implement measures to improve air quality, promoting healthier communities and ecosystems across Europe.
