The Environment Act 1995 made further amendments, and the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 amended the act in connection with the introduction of the pollution prevention and control regime.
The Environment Act 2021 made extensive amendments to the act by virtue of Schedule 12, inserting new provisions on smoke control areas and strengthening the regime for England. The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Act 2024 subsequently made corresponding and additional amendments for Wales, including repealing sections 20 to 23 and inserting new provisions specific to Wales.
