Developing environmental education on transboundary air pollution

The Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution aims to protect man and his environment against air pollution and to endeavour to limit and, as far as possible, gradually reduce and prevent air pollution, including long-range transboundary air pollution.

The Convention promotes the development of education and training programmes related to the environmental aspects of pollution by sulphur compounds and other major air pollutants.
