Home / NEPMs Explained / Ambient Air Quality / Review of Sulfur Dioxide 10 Minute Standard

In 1998, the NEPC made the Ambient Air Quality NEPM which sets national ambient air quality standards to apply in all States and Territories and over land controlled by the Commonwealth. These standards cover six criteria pollutants – particles (as PM10), ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and lead. In May 2003, the Ambient Air Quality NEPM was varied to include advisory reporting standards for PM2.5.

When NEPC made the Ambient Air Quality NEPM, it also agreed to a program of future actions, including a staged review of some NEPM standards. The future action program included a review of the practicability of developing a 10 minute sulfur dioxide standard to commence by 2003.
