IUAPPA
International Union of Air Pollution Prevention and Environmental Protection Associations (IUAPPA)
Air pollution causes the premature deaths of millions of people across the world, damages ecosystems and harms welfare and economic development.
Air pollution does not respect national boundaries. Many pollutants are transported long distances from one country or one hemisphere to another. Some pollutants are even transported at global scale. Solutions require co-operation at all levels – from the local to the global. And these solutions must reflect the linkages between air pollution and other social, economic and environmental issues, as well.
IUAPPA brings together governmental and non-governmental organisations from throughout the world to share scientific and technical information to help develop more effective air pollution control policies.
In pursuit of its objectives IUAPPA promotes the World Clean Air Congress and regional meetings, acts to promote technical and policy development in key areas such as the air quality impact of transport in cities, and leads international initiatives – such as the Global Atmospheric Pollution Forum.
Clean Air Society of Australia and New Zealand
The Clean Air Society of Australia and New Zealand (CASANZ) is a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization first formed in the late 1960's to bring together people with an interest in clean air and the mechanics of air pollution. Its focus is now expanded to encompass broader environmental management affairs, but with particular reference to air quality and related issues.
