Environment Agency
Several organisations in England and Wales are involved in improving air quality. The Environment Agency plays a major role by regulating the release of pollutants into air from over 2000 of the larger or more complex industrial processes. Over the next few years the our role will expand, as European legislation will require us to regulate a wider range of processes, including landfills and some sewage treatment works.
