AIR > Overview General Air quality in the UK is regulated by the Clean Air Act 1993. Other subsidary regulations such as:
under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 Part I act to regulate industrial activities and air emissions. Regulations are designed to protect air quality from emissions of volatile organics compounds (VOCs) or other air pollutants originating from fuels, paints, organic solvents, and other compounds used in grounds/vehicle maintenance facilities operations. Summaries of relevant air quality regulations are presented below. Cold Solvent Degreasing: Cold solvent degreasing is often used to clean parts at Grounds/vehicle maintenance facilities. The degreasing systems may contain VOCs or organic solvents that can impact air quality. Regulations have been established for proper operation and maintenance requirements for these systems to prevent air quality impacts. Vehicle Refinishing: refinishing activities are regulated to reduce and/or prevent the amount of air pollutants (VOCs) that are released to the air from vehicle coatings use or production. The regulations generally apply to any person who owns, leases, operates or controls an automotive refinishing facility. Fuel Storage: Specific fuel storage regulations are designed to protect air quality by limiting the release of VOCs from storage tanks into the air. These regulations generally address storage system and maintenance requirements to limit the release of VOCs.
