Air Quality Strategy - Addendum

The UK Government and devolved administrations published an Addendum to the Air Quality Strategy on 6 February 2003. The Strategy, issued in 2000, sets air quality standards and objectives for eight key air pollutants to be achieved between 2003 and 2008. Following a review and public consultation in 2001, the Addendum introduces tighter objectives for particles, benzene and carbon monoxide and a new objective for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Local authorities are required to review and assess the Strategy's 2000 objectives for seven air pollutants together with the new ones for benzene and carbon monoxide prescribed in regulations.
