Abstract

This Decree, based on the provisions of the Law on ambient air quality, prescribes limit values for levels and types of pollutants in the ambient air and sets alert thresholds, deadlines for reaching these limit values, tolerance margins for limit values, target values and long-term ozone targets. Target values for ozone are levels of ozone concentrations in ambient air which are fixed in order to avoid more long-term harmful effects on human health and environment as a whole, and which should be achieved over a period of time. The provisions of this Decree shall apply to: 1. Assessment of ambient air quality and determination of zones and agglomerations; 2. Assessment of ambient air quality and establishment of networks for monitoring and measurement of ambient air; 3. Monitoring of the ambient air quality within state network for monitoring of ambient air quality, as well as with local networks. 4. Measurement of the ambient air quality in measuring stations and measuring points that are not included in the state network, but are managed by accredited legal entities, municipalities and the city of Skopje in order to monitor the impact of ambient air pollution on human health and environment. 5. Ambient air quality planning and protection. 6. Other cases determined by relevant laws.
