Fijn stof nader bekeken
2005
The summary in booklet form 'Fijn stof nader bekeken' (Particulate
Matter: a closer look) , published in Dutch by the Netherlands
Environmental Assessment Agency (MNP) and the Environment and Safety
Division of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment
(RIVM), has been designed to present the facts on particulate matter in a
coherent framework. Current knowledge on particulate matter is conveyed
here under the headings: What is known? What is unknown? What are the
uncertainties? The background to this publication is the current social
and political debate on the consequences of the Netherlands air quality
legislation, which, in turn, is based on European legislation. The fact
that new spatial developments and infrastructural projects are at risk of
not being realized due to the large-scale exceedances of limit values for
particulate matter occurring in the Netherlands is leading to serious
social effects. Moreover, airborne particulate matter poses serious
risks to human health. The particulate matter subject is complicated and
accompanied by administrative dilemmas, legally binding limit values,
concerns of citizens, scientific uncertainties and spatial-economic
consequences. Many questions and current discussions have provided
reasons enough to compose this scientific summary on particulate matter.
Although this booklet does not present new information, it has succeeded
in bringing together all the published information on particulate matter
referring to the situation in the Netherlands.
