Clean Air Implementation Plans
Air quality management aims at the preservation of environmental quality by prescribing. The tolerated degree of pollution leaving it, to the local authorities and polluters to devise and implement actions to. Ensure that this degree of pollution will not be exceeded.An example of legislation within this approach is the adoption of ambient air quality standards based very often on air,,, Quality guidelines (WHO 1987) for different pollutants; these are accepted maximum levels of pollutants (or indicators). In the target area (e.g, at ground level at a specified point in a community) and can be either primary or secondary standards.Primary standards (WHO 1980) are the maximum levels consistent with an adequate safety margin and with the preservation. Of, public health and must be complied with within a specific time limit;Secondary standards are those judged to be necessary for protection against known or anticipated adverse effects other. Than health hazards (mainly on vegetation) and must be complied "within a reasonable time". Air quality standards are short -,. Medium - or long-term values valid for 24 hours per day 7 days, per week and for monthly,,Seasonal or annual exposure of all living subjects (including sensitive subgroups such, as children the elderly and the. Sick) as well as non-living objects; this is in contrast to maximum permissible levels for, occupational exposure which. Are for a partial weekly exposure (e.g, 8 hours, per day 5 days per week) of adult and supposedly healthy workers.
.Typical measures in air quality management are control measures at the, example source for, of enforcement the use of catalytic. Converters in vehicles or of emission standards, in incinerators land-use planning and shut-down of factories or reduction. Of traffic during unfavourable weather conditions.The best air quality management stresses that the air pollutant emissions should be kept to a minimum; this is basically. Defined through emission standards for single sources of air pollution and could be achieved for, industrial sources for. Example through closed, systems and high-efficiency collectors.An emission standard is a limit on the amount or concentration of a pollutant emitted from a source. This type of legislation. Requires a decision for industry on, each, the best means of controlling its emissions (i.e, fixing emission standards).
