As a result of a shortage of
resources, the City of Leipzig has
been unable since 1998 to carry out proper air quality management. While the
state authority (Sächsisches Landesamt
für Umwelt und Geologie) is responsible for measurements at three sites
within the city, the Environmental Protection Office is unable to develop
measures on the base of its results. Many actions developed in the frame of the
Climate Protection Program are at the moment frozen as adequate financing is
not available.
However, the impact
of some pollutants (current situation) were investigated in a study in
2001 (compatibleness of major roads; part of environmental monitoring).
Site-specific emission prognosis are sometimes carried
out by external consultants to accompany city and traffic planning activities
(by City Planning Office or Traffic Planning Office). |
