Summary

Generated

Directive 1999/30/EC sets limit values and alert thresholds for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen, PM10 and lead in ambient air. Member States had to transpose it by 19 July 2001, when it repealed earlier air-quality directives. It requires monitoring, public information and action plans where limits are exceeded.
