Environmental Health plays a crucial role in monitoring and controlling pollution in the air, water, and soil to protect public health. This includes managing risks from contaminated land, regulating industrial emissions, testing drinking water quality, and monitoring air pollution.
Our work involves technical monitoring and sampling, for example of private water supplies, scientific assessments, and issuing environmental permits to minimise contamination and health risks. The service also provides expert advice on planning applications, ensuring developments do not contribute to or suffer from harmful pollution levels.
