However, there are some areas (mostly urban) where concentrations of air pollution are quite high, especially during low wind conditions where there is high traffic density and where home heating is mainly by open fires or wood burners. The Ministry recognises the importance of keeping the air clean and healthy to breathe.

Extractions: 2002 was a bad year for air pollution in the greater Los Angeles region. After years of less smog, is the trend reversing? Or, was this year just an anomaly caused by unfavorable weather patterns? The answer will not be known for several years, but many, including Environment Now, feel that California is backsliding in its fight against air pollution. While society has been celebrating the extraordinary gains in air quality made during the past two decades, we have failed to stay ahead of the continued, smog-generating growth of the Los Angeles region. This year's problem areas are in the inland areas of the region, those areas experiencing the greatest rates of growth. In order to restore healthy air quality in the region, Environment Now has set two goals for our air quality program. In pursuit of these goals, Environment Now has focused on diesel exhaust-a prime cause of air pollution and a recognized carcinogen. We have partnered with the

There are two types of mechanism: the workplace parking levy and the road user charging scheme. The workplace parking levy is a charge which authorities can make on car parking spaces used for business purposes; while motorists entering a road user charging scheme area will be charged a fee for travel in that location. In both cases the Local Authority will determine how the scheme will operate; the amount and area charged and the times of operation. The introduction of charging mechanisms will have a significant impact on business; increasing costs and potentially adversely affecting the viability and vitality of town centres, where many retailers are located.

This group examined the scientific and medical evidence in relation to each pollutant in order to set a relevant health based standard. The standards were adopted by the Department of the Environment Transport and the Regions (DETR) for the NAQS and thus form the context in which the review of air quality is being carried out.
