Air Pollution
What We Do About Air
Pollution
We take a number of steps to reduce air
pollution in Newham.
For instance we:
- Regulate the emissions from industrial sources and
construction sites
- Monitor the air quality within the borough
- Public Protection investigates and regulates nuisance
from bonfires and dark smoke emitted from commercial
premises
- Liaise with other departments, outside organisations and
members of the public to provide air quality data, information and
technical support
- Conduct roadside vehicle emissions testing.
- Arrange regular voluntary vehicle emission testing, where
drivers can have their engines tested for free
We are currently developing a strategy and action plan for
Newham to manage the air quality within the borough, and to meet
government limits on air pollution. |
