Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution on Heavy Metals

This procedure concerns the EU's commitment to the 1998 Protocol, which aims to reduce and prevent air pollution caused by heavy metals. It focuses on limiting the emission of pollutants like cadmium, lead, and mercury into the atmosphere to protect human health and the environment from long-range transboundary pollution.

This affects industrial operators and policymakers involved in emissions control. It leads to stricter standards for heavy metal emissions from industrial sources and motor vehicles across participating regions.
