The reduction of pollution in the construction intends to tackle air pollutants affecting ambient air quality, such as PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, NO₂/NOx, SO₂, ozone, benzene, CO and certain metals/PAHs in order to contribute to the EU Action Plan: ‘Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil’ The EU Ambient Air Quality Directive sets standards for these pollutants and does not include CO₂ among them. In addition, Eurostat separates greenhouse gases, including CO₂, from air pollutants.
In the framework of this Call, project are expected to explicitly and directly contribute to reducing air pollutants in this sector, rather than CO₂ reduction which primally aim at decarbonation and climate change mitigation.
