Abstract
The amended law aligns with EU Directive 2008/50/EC, introducing definitions for “fixed” and “indicative measurements” to enhance air quality data standards. Municipalities must prepare Air Quality Plans and collaborate with neighboring municipalities when pollutant levels exceed target values, alongside short-term action plans with measures like traffic restrictions to address pollution risks. Public participation is mandated in plan preparation, with annual reporting required to ensure transparency and accountability. Penalties are established for non-compliance, emphasizing the law’s focus on improving air quality, protecting public health, and promoting environmental sustainability.
