LA CONTAMINACIÓN ATMOSFÉRICA DERIVADA DE LAS AGLOMERACIONES URBANAS Y OTRAS CAUSAS: EL INCUMPLIMIENTO CONSTANTE DE LOS NIVELES DE CONTAMINACIÓN ATMOSFÉRICA.

Directive 2008/50 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air in Europe sets limit values for air pollutants, in particular nitrogen dioxide, And which obliges Member States to implement appropriate measures to put an end to this situation should the limits be exceeded. Member States should therefore take measures to control levels of air pollution and ensure good air quality and protect public health. This paper analyzes the failure of several Member States to meet EU maximum levels for air quality and proposes urgent measures to address this serious environmental problem. It also addresses the treatment of air pollution in urban planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
