Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (TA Luft)

The Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (TA Luft) is the "First General Administrative Regulation on the Federal Immission Control Act" issued by the German government. Among other things, it contains calculation regulations for significant air pollutants and creates uniform, legal requirements for facilities that require a permit in accordance with the Ordinance on Facilities Requiring a Permit. The scope of application of the TA Luft thus extends to more than 50000 plants in Germany that require a permit. The TA Luft is primarily aimed at the licensing authorities for industrial and commercial plants. On the basis of the requirements of the TA Luft, the authorities draw up adapted conditions to be fulfilled by the plant operator. Existing plants must also comply with the state of the art and reduce pollutant emissions within certain transition periods. Translated with: DeepL
