Anticipating unforeseen effects of EU policies on Air Quality
This report analyses the main sectors involved in air pollution generation and provides a first assessment and prioritisation of the main ongoing or foreseeable structural changes that may pose a threat to the European air quality in Europe.
In particular the following questions have been addressed with the support of selected experts:
"Is it true that there are regulatory aspects that could result in slowing down of the decrease in air pollutants emissions, or even potentially leading to their increase?"
"If so, is it possible to identify one or more specific issues, maybe related to structural sectorial changes, that needs to be addressed?"
"For these key issues, is it possible to quantify (or at least estimate) the unintended impact on air quality in order to prioritise appropriate countermeasures?"
