Create an independent clean air monitoring system for incinerators

Closed 1,250 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government U.K. wide to create an independent ‘clean air monitoring system’ linked to the Environment Agency who can enforce any and all breaches where they occur, for communities near incinerators.
In 2025 alone the Royal College of Physicians estimated poor air quality will cause 30,000 deaths and cost over £27billion in healthcare, productivity and loss of quality of life.
