Environmental Protection — Nationwide Concern

As a highly industrialized state Britain cannot ignore the problem of environmental protection. The practical results of the state

policy in environmental protection include the development of technology to control atmospheric (air) and water pollution, agricultural

pollution control, the study of man's influence on the climate, the forecasting of earthquakes and tsunamis, the biological and genetic

consequences of pollution, protection of rare and vanishing plants and animals as well as a whole lot more.

The Control of Pollution Act 1974, which applies to England, Scotland and Wales, sets out a. wide range of powers and duties for

local and water authorities, including control over wastes, air and water pollution and noise, and contains important provisions on the

release of information to the public on environmental conditions.

The main risks of land pollution lie in the indiscriminate dumping of materials on land, careless disposal of pesticides and chemi-

cals, fall-out of materials from the atmosphere and the deposition of materials from flood-water. The use of sewage sludge on farms,

too, involves risks as well as benefits to the land.

The Government encourages the reclamation and recycling of waste materials wherever this is practicable and economic in order

to reduce imports and to help to conserve natural resources. Industry already makes considerable use of reclaimed waste materials

such as metals, paper and textiles. In an increasing number of areas there are "bottlebanks" where the public can deposit used glass

containers.

There has been a steady and significant improvement in water quality: the level of pollution in the tidal Thames has been reduced

to a quarter of the 1950s level and 1 0 0 different kinds of fish have been identified there. Discharges of polluting matter into rivers,

lakes, estuaries and some coastal waters are already controlled by law.

Control of marine pollution from ships is based largely on international conventions drawn up under the auspices of the Intema-

tional Maritime Organization, a United Nations agency with headquarters in London. In dealing with spillages of oil or chemicals at sea

the main treatment method is to spray dispersant from aircraft or surface vessels, and emergency cargo transfer equipment is
