The Air Quality Limit Values (Amendment) Regulations 2002
These Regulations are made to implement in England European Parliament and Council Directive 2000/69/EC relating to limit values for benzene and carbon monoxide in ambient air. They amend the Air Quality Limit Values Regulations 2001 which in turn implement Council Directive 96/62/EC on ambient air quality assessment and management (the Air Framework Directive) and Council Directive 1999/30/EC relating to limit values for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter and lead in ambient air.
