Abstract

Clean environment is a basis of people’s health, but of their daily lives too. Air, water and environment are increasingly polluted under the influence of various threatening factors, which requires a legislative support. Through the provisions of the Law on Environmental Protection (2004), the air protection has in principle been provided, while the specific solutions have been given by the Law on Air Protection (2009), as a lex specialis, which regulates in detail the management of air quality and determining measures, the methods of organizing and controlling the implementation of protection and improvement of air quality as natural values of a general interest enjoying a special protection. In addition to the aforementioned laws, air protection is also regulated by by-laws, namely by various decrees and regulations. The subject of this paper is the analysis of normative solutions for air protection (ambient) according to the legislation of Republic of Serbia and the impact of the important factors on air pollution.
