Organisation and Objectives

The Society was founded in 1992 and joined IUAPPA the same year. It is now operating within a network with the Commission of Clean Air of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the highest scientific board for air pollution aspects in Austria and with the Umweltdachverband, the Association of the leading NGOs for Nature Conservation and Environmental Protection Organisations in Austria with more then 1,300.000 members. So the Society’s main objective is to minimise the negative effects of air pollution and its ecological consequences in Austria in cooperation with scientists and NGOs but with governmental agencies and industry too.
