Hong Kong to Raise Air Quality Standards and Cut Emissions
This article is for subscribers only.
Hong Kong will raise its air quality standards for the first time since 1987 as the former British colony targets a reduction in vehicle and vessel emissions to clear up smoggy skies.
Hong Kong will use air quality standards set by the World Health Organization as a reference for its own objectives, the government said today in a statement. The new air quality targets and monitoring index will be unveiled next year, and the government will review its goals at least once every five years.
