About us

The Task Force’s main focus is to address emission abatement technologies for stationary and mobile sources in relation to atmospheric emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM), including black carbon, heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

The activities are carried out also in cooperation with the experts appointed by the Parties to the Convention and the stakeholders from Industry, pursuing the ultimate objective of the implementation of the Convention.

The web site provides access to the documents and presentations of the meetings of the Task Force.
