Britain warned by EU of air contamination
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007Britain has been formally warned by the European Commission for breaching safe limits on industrial air pollution and officials have started investigating potentially dangerous levels of business pollution in the UK.
The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs said the commission was pursuing infraction proceedings against the UK for contravening European air quality legislation, which came into force in 2005. If no agreement is reached, the EU may take the UK government to the European Court of Justice.
Although LGAC’s are not wholly to blame for such breaches that do actively contribute to the overall figure for air pollution, especially with the on going use of vent to air systems. Such warnings have a knock on effect with increasing fines and more stringent regulation on any sort of industrial pollution, including laser users.
