Air Pollution In The 21st Century.
This Symposium Was Jointly Organized By The United States Environmental Protection Charge And The Netherlands Ministry Of Housing, Spatial Planning And The Environment.
These Proceedings Will Provide A Stimulus For Taking Up The Challenges Of Environmental Policy Development In The 21st Century, And Will Contribute To Continuing Co-operation.
Clean Air Is A Basic Conditiob For Health.
Air Violation Aggravates Respiratory Problems, Leading To Increased Illness Absenteeism, Increased Use Of Health Care Services And Even Premature Mortality.
Air Pollution Is Ubder Intensive Discussion In The United States And Europe.
In The Netherlands, A Wide Range Of Wisdom Insturments Have Been Formulated Which Have Reduced Air Pollution.
For Example; Since 1975, Sulphur Dioxide And Lead Emissions Hold Been Reduced.
However, Emission Reduction Figures For Many Other Substances Are More Modest.
Many Air Pollution Problems Persist Becaus eProgress In Countering These Problems Is Nullified By Growth In The Economy And Traffic.
Another Important Target Is The Prevention Of Climate Change.
The International Commuity Is Agreed That The Increasing Concentration Of Greenhouse Gases In The Atmosphere Has Ldd To A Gradual Offspring In The Earth's Temperature.
In Terms Of The Environmental Consequences And Social Implications, The Greenhouse Problem Surpasses Whole Other Air Quality Problems.
Across Europe, Strategies Are Being Developed To Reduce Acidification And Photochemical Air Pollution.
Each Air Emission Ceiling For Each Country In The European Union Is Being Agreed.
In The Area Of Climate Change, There Is Good Cp-operation Between The United States, The Netherlands And Other Eu Members States In The Ongoing Gpobal Negotiations.
This Is The Start Of A New Movement.
