Air quality guidelines for Europe (2nd Ed.); 2000 (sólo en inglés)

The guidelines are a contribution to HEALTH21, the health for all policy framework for the WHO European Region. This states that, by the year 2015, people in the Region should live in a safer physical environment, with exposure to contaminants hazardous to health at levels not exceeding internationally agreed standards. WHO is therefore pleased to see that the revised air quality guidelines are being used as a starting point for the derivation of legally binding limit values in the framework of the EU Air Quality Directive. Also, the global guidelines for air quality, recently issued by WHO headquarters, are based on the revised guidelines for Europe.
