The Scottish Government develops domestic policies and initiatives to improve air quality and reduce risks to human health.
The Scottish Government works in partnership with the other Devolved Administrations and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to ensure objectives set out in the Air Quality Strategy for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are achieved.
In relation to European and international issues, the Scottish Government takes forward the transposition and implementation of European Community (EC) and other international obligations.
Comprehensive information on all aspects of air quality can be found on the Government funded Air Quality in Scotland website.
