Air quality standards and legislations
Published in Abhishek Tiwary, Ian Williams, Air Pollution, 2018
The Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) (2010/75/EU) is the main EU instrument regulating pollutant emissions from industrial installations. The IED, adopted on 24 November 2010, is based on a European Commission proposal recasting 7 previously existing directives (including in particular the IPPC directive). Around 50,000 installations undertaking the industrial activities listed in Annex I of the IED are required to operate in accordance with a permit (granted by the authorities in the member states). These fall into the following categories: Energy production and distribution: Emissions from public heat and electricity generation, oil refining, production of solid fuels, extraction and distribution of solid fossil fuels and geothermal energy.Energy use in industry: Emissions from combustion processes used in the manufacturing industry including boilers, gas turbines and stationary engines.Industrial processes and product use: Emissions derived from non-combustion-related processes such as the production of minerals, chemicals and metal production, non-combustion-related emissions mainly in the services and household sectors including from activities such as paint application, dry cleaning and other uses of solvents.

The UK, despite leaving the EU, is intending to maintain environmental standards and to apply the existing model of integrated pollution control. The EU Withdrawal Act 2018 maintains established environmental principles and ensures that existing EU environmental law will continue to have effect in UK law, including the Industrial Emissions Directive51 (IED) and BAT Commission Implementing Decisions made under it. If this is to be the case, then the UK will also take into account other aspects of how the EU is implementing the IED.

Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and the Council on industrial emissions (the Industrial Emissions Directive or IED) is the main European Union (EU) instrument regulating pollutant emissions from industrial installations. The IED was adopted on 24 November 2010. The limits set by the IED for the gas turbines are 50 mg/Nm3 (25 ppm) NOx and 100 mg/Nm3 (80 ppm) CO for both gas and liquid firing. Gas turbines are exempt from particulate matter (PM) limit of 5 mg/Nm3 for gas-fired units.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is acutely toxic to all forms of life, contributes to the formation of photochemical smog and increases the erosion of buildings and other infrastructure. In recent years, emissions to air from industrial processes have been regulated via the EU’s Industrial Emissions Directive [IED – (EC, 2010)], which came into force in 2013. With respect to HCl, the IED – in common with the legislation it superseded (EC, 2000) – stipulates an emission limit of 10 mg·m−3, i.e. the emission limit has remained unchanged for some time. However, recently, new legislation has been passed augmenting the requirements of the IED for some industrial sub-sectors setting increasingly stringent limits for this important pollutant.

The European Industrial Emissions Directive, IED, 2010/75/EU (European Commission, 2010), later referred to as IED, sets out emission limit values (ELV) for example for large combustion plants as well as for waste incineration processes.
