We monitor some forms of possible pollution in
North Somerset and can give advice about others.
For example, we monitor, review and assess
emissions, air pollution and air quality.
This includes emissions from industrial premises, traffic on local
roads and motorways and those from air handling units such as
air-conditioning and venitlation systems.
We are also responsible for identifying contaminated land in
the area, and testing private water supplies to ensure they are
safe.
We investigate complaints about excessive
noise
and can take action if it is a nuisance.
We can also provide advice and help about
asbestos
if you find it in your property, and electro-magnetic radiation
(EMR) if companies wish to site sources near your home.
