5. Air Quality Plans
Implementation
• District governments are responsible
• Close co-operation between municipal
administration, the Environmental State
Agency of North Rhine-Westphalia,
producers of air pollutants and third
parties concerned
Broad discussion and Co-operation
• With stakeholders from industry
(dialogue), chambers of commerce,
NGO‘s and others
June 2010
• 16 air quality plans in force
• 15 air quality plans in preparation
6. New Generation of Air Quality Planning
- Regional Plan for the Ruhr Area -
1,500 km2 area
3.3 million inhabitants
13 towns
Air pollution does not stop at
municipal boundaries!
Harmonised package of
measures.
7. Package of Measures
for the Ruhr Area
• Industry: renewal of plants, state of
the art, reduction of dust emissions
from building sites,
• Traffic: renewal of private and public
vehicle fleets, route concepts for
lorries, low emission zones
• Trade, business and private
households: renewal of furnaces,
energy-efficient construction and
redevelopment
8. Low emission zones (environmental zones)
First implementation in Cologne
January 2008
13 implemented in 15 municipalities
Vehicles without stickers are
banned
Exemption rules
Reduction of both PM10 and NO2
Red EURO 2 diesel vehicles
pollution
Yellow EURO 3 diesel vehicles
Green > EURO 4 diesel vehicles Faster renewal of private and public
gasoline vehicles with vehicle fleet
catalysators
9. Evaluation
All measures implemented are
continously evaluated

Environment and Health NRW
(www.apug.nrw.de)
Transport, environment and health
- Working tools to improve the evaluation of technical
measures
- Working tools for public relations on the context of
environment and health
Planning procedures
- Improving the interactions between different planning
procedures (spatial, town, traffic, air quality
management, noise abatement)
13. PRONET
How do European Regions cope with
the challenges arising from
air quality and noise targets
set by EU-COM ?
14. PRONET
Exchange of
experiences between
European Regions
and cities
Networking
Policy
recommendations
http://www.umwelt.nrw.de/umwelt/umwelt_gesundheit/pronet/transport/index.php
16. PRONET
Recommendations for future policies
improving the harmonisation of EU policy strategies on
air quality, noise, mobility management and urban
environment
closing the gap between emission standards and
ambient air quality standards on EU level
financial support for municipalities for the implementation
of measures
improving the knowledge on effects
17. Air Quality Management in European Regions –
challenges and success stories
