Long term objectives for  O3

For Ozone, O3, are also set long term objectives. Ozone is a long range transboundary polluter, therefore the reduction of the ozone levels in each country separately is exceptionally difficult. The long term objective is an ozone concentration level that should be reached in long term in order to provide effective protection of the human health and the environment..
