Germany has an air pollution control regulation titled "Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control" (''Technische Anleitung zur Reinhaltung der Luft'') and commonly referred to as the ''TA Luft''.〔(Complete text of the TA Luft )〕 The first version of the ''TA Luft'' was established in 1964. It has subsequently been revised in 1974, 1983, 1988 and 2002.〔(History of the TA Luft )〕 Parts of the ''TA Luft'' have been adopted by other countries as well. In 1974, 10 years after the ''TA Luft'' was first established, the German government enacted the "Federal Pollution Control Act" (''Bundes-Immissionsschutzgesetz''). It also has subsequently been amended a number of times, the last of which was in 2002.〔(Complete text of the Federal Air Pollution Control Act )〕 Although the first version of the ''TA Luft'' existed 10 years before the enactment of the "Federal Pollution Control Act", it is often called the "First General Administrative Regulation" pertaining to the "Federal Pollution Control Act". The German government created the Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (''Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit'') in June, 1986〔(Web site of the Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety )〕 and it is now responsible for implementing the ''TA Luft'' regulation under the "Federal Air Pollution Control Act". ==Overview== The TA Luft is a comprehensive air pollution control regulation that includes: * A discussion of the scope of the TA Luft application, which is to review applications for licenses to construct and operate new industrial facilities (or altered existing facilities) and to determine whether the proposed new or altered facilities will comply with the requirements of the TA Luft and the requirements of other air pollutant emission regulations promulgated under the ''Federal Pollution Control Act''. * Air pollutant emission limits for dust, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrofluoric acid and other gaseous inorganic fluorine compounds, arsenic and inorganic arsenic compounds, lead and inorganic lead compounds, cadmium and inorganic cadmium compounds, nickel and inorganic nickel compounds, mercury and inorganic mercury compounds, thallium and inorganic thallium compounds, ammonia from farming and livestock breeding operations, inorganic gases and particulates, organic substances and others. * Emission limits may also be set for hazardous, toxic, carcinogenic or mutagenic substances as part of the TA Luft review procedures. * Other limits or requirements related to stack heights (for flue gases or other process vents) and for storing, loading or working with liquid or solid substances. * Various requirements for sampling measuring and monitoring emissions. * Listing of the industries subject to the requirements of the TA Luft, such as mining, electric power generation, glass and ceramics, steel, aluminum and other metals, chemical plants, oil refining, plastics, food, and others. *Annex 3 is devoted to guidelines on: how the atmospheric dispersion modeling required during the TA Luft review is to be performed, and the acceptable type of dispersion model to be used. In essence, the modeling must be in accordance with the VDI Guidelines 3782 Parts 1 and 2, 3783 Part 8, 3784 Part 2, and 3945 Part 3.〔(The VDI web site )〕 The full text of the TA Luft is available on the Internet.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TA Luft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
