Directive : pollution from large combustion plants(november 11, 2001)
This directive applies to combustion plants (technical apparates in which fuels are oxidised in order to use the heat thus generated) with a rated thermal inputequal to or greater than 50 MW, irrespective of type of fuel used
To reduce the annual emissions of SO2, NOx, from existing plants and to lay down limit values for SO2 , NOx and PM in the case of new plants

Major Air Pollutants: Problems
• Sulfur dioxide - acid rain, health damage, visibility reduction
• Nitrogen oxides - acid rain, eutrophication, growth of weedy species
• Carbon monoxide - inhibited respiration
• Lead and mercury - neurological damage
• Chlorofluorocarbons - ozone depletion
• Particulate matter - lung damage, cancer
• Volatile organic compounds – (isoprenes, terpenes, methane, & benzene, chloroform, etc) oxidized to CO, CO2 in the atmosphere; carcinogens?

Effects on Human Beings
• Increases in air pollution have been linked to decreases in lung function and increases in heart attacks.
• High levels of air pollution according to the Air Quality Standards directly affect people with asthma and other types of lung or heart disease.
• Long-term exposure to air pollution can cause cancer and long-term damage to the immune, neurological, reproductive, and respiratory systems. In extreme cases, it can even cause death.

New directive “Due to ambient air quality and more pure air in Europe”
It was decided to replace one of five acts, when necessary - implementing measures in order to take into account the latest developments in health and education sectors and Member States' experiences and interests of clarity, simplicity and administrative efficiency:
1996 m. September 27 d. directive 96/62/EB due to ambient air quality evaluation and management,
• 1999 m. April 22 d. directive 1999/30/EB due to sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and lead limit values in ambient air,
• 2000 m. November 16 d. directive 2000/69/EB due to benzene and carbon monoxide ambient air limit values,
• 2002 m. February 12 d. directive 2002/3/EB due to ozone in ambient air,
• 1997 m. January 27 d. directive 97/101/EB, determinating net and separate stations measuring ambient air pollution in EU countries, mutual exchange of information and data.

• Establishment European Environmental Agency (EEA) and its Topic Centres

Introduction: Development European Community Legislation
Around 1975: EC establish an air pollution expert working group: Gathering urban air quality data (mostly SO2), main focus on QA/QC of measurement methods and site selection
1979: Legal structure EoI (Exchange of Information) directive: Member states selects a representative number of measurement stations to EC, EC stores data and yearly report data
80’s: Directives for SO2 and particles, Lead and NO2
1990: EoI directive ends 10 year period, new EoI needed countries decide to continue on a voluntary basis, development of Girafe (Guide of Air Quality Monitoring Networks in Europe)
30PlasTEP
Introduction: Development European Community Legislation
• 1992: Ozone directive
• 1996: Air Quality Framework adopted: general principles for pollutant directives set
• 1997 new EoI adopted, all measurement stations that measures a component on the list (.. Components) has to be reported (in 2001 amended)
• 1998 EU provides countries with DEM, a data exchange module to convert national data to Airbase, EEA starts to provide yearly Air pollution reports based on the data provided.
31PlasTEP
Introduction: Development European Community Legislation
• 1999: First Daughter directive adopted (PM10, So2, No2, lead)
• 2000: Second daughter directive: CO and Benzene
• 2001: Third Daughter directive: Ozone
• 2001: Emission Directive (NEC): SO2, NOx, VOC, NH3 national emission ceilings for 2010 set
• 2001: CAFE (Clean Air For Europe) is launched: a thematic strategy is foreseen for 2004
• coming up: Daughter directives for PAH’s and heavy metals (Ni, Cd, As, Hg)

Integrated Environmental Assessment - Framework
• Driven by policy questions (GHG MM and CAFE)
• Covering full DPSIR causality chain focus on sectors
• Baseline trends: emerging issues and policy effectiveness
• Geogr. scope: EU and ACC
• Time horizon: 2010/2010 (+2050 for CC)
