	In general, cities must monitor their air quality, and if certain emission are above advisory thresholds they must implement an Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). It is possible that where there is an AQMP, part of this plan might be to limit biomass installations. However, air quality is predominately a function of diesel powered transport and so it could be argued that restricting biomass boilers is not tackling the root of the problem.
