Existing ambient air quality objectives

See Ambient Air Quality Objectives and Guidelines document for objectives currently in effect.

Using Ambient Air Quality Objectives in Industrial Plume Dispersion Modelling and Individual Industrial Site Monitoring is a guideline for the implementation of ambient air quality objectives and their use in air dispersion modelling and ambient air monitoring.

In the following table the documents listed in the "Ambient Air Quality Objectives" column provide a short (2 to 3 page) description of the substance, the effects and the objective levels. The "Supporting Documents) are detailed reports providing scientific and technical information on the substances.
