**TA Luft 2021** is the 2021 revision of the German Technische Anleitung zur Reinhaltung der Luft (Technical Instruction on Air Quality Control), tightening emission limits across industrial plant categories that are not covered by specific BImSchV ordinances ([13. BImSchV](/glossary/bimschv) for large combustion plants, [17. BImSchV](/glossary/bimschv) for waste incineration).

## Industrial implications

TA Luft 2021 lowered dust thresholds and tightened many specific emission limits across mid-size industrial plants — cement, lime, glass, ceramic, refining, chemicals, food. The tightening drove a wave of retrofit projects on [ESPs](/glossary/electrostatic-precipitator) and [baghouses](/glossary/baghouse), creating opportunities for [sonic-horn](/glossary/sonic-horn) installations that help operators maintain compliance over the operating cycle.
