Atmospheric Protection Plan (PPA)
The Atmospheric Protection Plan (PPA) is a mandatory administrative document for all municipalities with populations exceeding 250,000. It outlines objectives, measures, and regulations aimed at minimizing the concentration of atmospheric pollutants in the ambient air.
This plan serves as a robust protection mechanism against excessively polluting industrial activities, thereby enabling stringent monitoring and control of such operations. The PPAs establish targets for maintaining atmospheric pollutant concentrations below regulatory limits. These measures are applicable not only within the specified municipalities but also in areas where air quality thresholds have been exceeded or are at risk of being exceeded.
