Air pollution control: Environment Committee wants stricter limits

The EP Environment Committee (ENVI) wants to tighten the limit values for 2030 in the Air Quality Directive compared with the Commission’s proposal. This applies to the air pollutants particulate matter (PM2.5; PM10), sulfur dioxide, nitrous dioxide and ozone. In addition, the committee calls for the limit values proposed by the WHO guideline to be implemented one-to-one in revisions to the directive.
