Industrial Pollution

Public Protection acts to monitor, prevent and control environmental pollution in the borough and promote environmental improvement. We work with the local industries, authorised under the Environmental Permitting Regulations (2007), to reduce the impact of their activities on the environment and on the lives of Newham residents.
