Air Quality Bill - New Rules for Cleaner Air

This bill creates new legal requirements to improve air quality across the UK. It would set stricter limits on harmful air pollution and give local councils new powers to monitor and reduce pollution in their areas. The government says this will protect public health and meet international air quality standards. The bill would require businesses and vehicle operators to follow new emission limits. It also creates penalties for organisations that exceed pollution limits. Local authorities would get funding to install air quality monitoring equipment and take action against major polluters. The changes would affect transport companies, factories, and construction sites that produce air pollution.
