Description

The purpose of this study is to review available policy options and tools (regulatory and nonregulatory) aimed at managing particulate matter and ozone. The study identifies policy tools that are applicable to the following three levels: Provincial; Municipal; Airshed.

References are provided for further information on all the tools reviewed. These policy tools will be very useful for both governments and stakeholders in developing air quality management plans.
