The Ministry of the Environment is the National Environmental Authority of Peru that directs environmental policy for the country. One of its functions is to develop and approve Air Quality Standards, including maximum permissible limits for atmospheric emissions.
Another function of the Ministry is to promote scientific investigation, technological innovation and information on the subject of the environment, clean practices and processes, and clean consumption.
It is also important to note that one of the strategies for reducing greenhouse gases, dioxin and furan emissions is the implementation of improved stoves.
