Clean air

Clean air under the Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill is defined as meaning, air that does not contain banned pollutants or pollutants, concentrations or emissions above the limits or levels of 10 exposure (which may be zero) which are set out in Schedule 1 (pollutants relating to local and atmospheric pollution), Schedule 2 (indoor air pollutants), Schedule 3 (pollutants causing primarily environmental harm) and Schedule 4 (pollutants causing climate change) of the Bill.

[edit] Pollutants relating to local and atmospheric pollution

Pollutant types (concentrations and exposure levels also listed in the bill); Black carbon, Benzene (C6H6), 1, 3 Butadiene, Formaldehyde (HCHO), Ground-level ozone (O3), Lead, Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Particulate matter (PM0.1, PM1, PM2.5 and PM10), Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) expressed as concentration of benzo(a)pyrene.

[edit] Indoor air pollutants

Biological indoor air pollutants; dampness and mould listed as zero acceptable concentrations and exposure levels.

Pollutant-specific guidelines or chemical pollution (concentrations and exposure levels also listed in the bill); Benzene (C6H6), 1, 3 Butadiene, Carbon monoxide (CO), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Hydrogen sulphide (H2S), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Naphthalene, Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) expressed as concentration of benzo(a)pyrene, Radon, Tetrachloroethylene, Trichloroethylene and Particulate matter (PM0.1, PM1, PM2.5 and PM10).

[edit] Pollutants causing primarily environmental harm

Pollutant concentrations for; Ammonia (NH3), Ground-level ozone (O3), Nitrogen oxides (NOx) (expressed as NO2), Sulphur dioxide (SO2)

Pollutant emissions for Ammonia (NH3), Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), Oxides of nitrogen (NOx), Particulate matter (PM2.5) and Sulphur dioxide (SO2).

[edit] Pollutants causing climate change

Non-fluorinated gases; “Net UK carbon account” as defined in section 27 of the Climate Change Act 2008, Methane (CH4) and Nitrous oxide (N2O).

Fluorinated gases; Hydrofluorocarbons, Nitrogen trifluoride, Perfluorocarbons, and Sulphur hexafluoride.
