De uitstoot van luchtverontreinigende stoffen is de afgelopen decennia sterk gedaald en zal de komende jaren naar verwachting blijven dalen. Daarmee is de kans heel erg groot dat Europese emissiedoelen voor de luchtverontreinigende stoffen in 2030 worden gehaald. Maar ondanks een forse verwachte daling van de ammoniakuitstoot – onder meer door het...
