Clean Air
The Clean Air Act was originally implemented after the London
smog in 1952. It was updated in 1993 and gives powers to the
Council to take action where smoke arises, or create smoke control
areas. Examples of action which can be taken under the
Clean
Air Act 1993 are as follows:-
Dark Smoke from Chimneys
Dark smoke is prohibited from the chimney of any building and
can apply to houses, industrial buildings and crematoria. There are
however some exemptions:-
- Mechanical failure of part of the plant
- Solely due to lighting a furnace from cold
- There are also permitted periods for dark smoke to be emitted,
ie: where there is one furnace served by the chimney which is
operating normally
- There are also exemptions for certain matter being burned, such
as explosives which have become waste, poultry or animal carcasses
which have died due to disease, and fire fighting training.
Dark Smoke from Industrial or Trade Premises
It is an offence to cause or permit the emission of dark smoke
from industrial or trade premises. this includes bonfires and if it
can be proved that an emission of dark smoke has occurred (eg if
burned materials such as tyres, likely to give rise to dark smoke
are found) then action can be taken against the offender.
