Abstract
The current Directive 2008/50/EC on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe establishes the need to reduce pollution to levels that minimise harmful effects on human health, paying particular attention to sensitive populations and the environment as a whole, to improve the monitoring and assessment of air quality including the deposition of pollutants, and to provide information to the public. This work summarises the current status of AQD implementation and identifies new challenges for the future directive revision, namely on the selected pollutants, monitoring strategies and combined use of monitoring and modelling techniques.
