<p>We have not set local targets for reducing air pollution.</p><p> </p><p>We set
concentration limits for a range of pollutants which local authorities are expected
to ensure compliance with. Local authorities have statutory duties to review and assess
local air quality, declare Air Quality Management Areas and put in place action plans
to clean up local air if air quality standards or objectives are not achieved or are
not likely to be achieved.</p><p> </p><p>Our national Air Quality Strategy sets out
the air quality standards and objectives that must be achieved locally.</p><p> </p><p>Our
landmark Environment Bill ensures that local authorities have a clear framework for
tackling air pollution and simple to use powers to address air pollution in their
areas.</p>
