Air Protection Initiatives
______________________________________________________________
Two directives regulate air quality standards in
the EU
• Clean Air for Europe Programme (CAFE)
• Directive relating to Arsenic, Cadmium,
Mercury, Nickel and Polycyclic
Hydrocarbons
CAFE sets air quality standards for sulphur
dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen,
particulate matter, lead, benzene and carbon
monoxide
•
Both Directives were transposed in all Eastern
European EU Member States
•
If companies emit any of these substances it may
impact future permits, particularly in areas that
exceed admissible limits
