Air Quality Objectives Review
Public Consultation Forum
Opportunities for the General Public to Express their Views and Concerns

FREE ADMISSION
Background
To enhance the protection of public health and further improve air quality, the HKSAR Government has launched a public consultation on Air Quality Objectives (AQOs) review until the end of November 2009. The proposed new AQOs are set by taking into account the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guidelines and the practices of other advanced countries/economies.
To help achieve the proposed new AQOs, 19 emission control measures have been recommended in the following four categories:
-Emission Capping and Control
-Transport Management
-Infrastructure Development and Planning
-Energy Efficiency Measures
Relevant consultation document can be downloaded from the Environmental Protection Department’s website : http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/eindex.html
The proposed measures will have different degrees of impact on the public such as improvement to health, better quality of living, a change of life style, or possible increase in expenses, etc. Therefore, the views of the public are of paramount importance to help Hong Kong set a new benchmark for clean air.
Date & Time 9:00am – 12:30pm, 10 October 2009 (Saturday)

空氣質素指標檢討
公眾諮詢會
誠邀公眾人士表達意見和關注
二零零九年十月十日（星期六）
免費入場
背景
為加強對公眾健康的保障和進一步改善空氣質素，香港政府已就檢討本港空氣質素指標展開公眾諮詢，諮詢期至二零零九年十一月底為止。建議的新空氣質素指標是參考世界衛生組織的空氣質素指引及其他先進國家／經濟體的做法。
為達致建議的新空氣質素指標，政府亦就以下四大範疇，提出了19項排放管制措施建議：
-排放上限及管制
-交通管理
-基建發展及規劃
-提高能源效益
相關諮詢文件可於環境保護署網頁下載：http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/cindex.html
這些建議將會對公眾造成不同程度的影響，如改善健康、提高生活質素、改變生活習慣、或可能增加開支等。因此，公眾的意見極其重要，並有助政府為本港的清新空氣質素訂立新基準。
