Résumé

This Act makes provision for public inspection of “affected premises” i.e. any premises on which there are industrial works, the operation of which is in the opinion of an inspector likely to result in the discharge of smoke or fumes or gases or dust into the air. The Act also defines duties of owners of affected premises to use best practicable means (defined) for the prevention of air pollution and provides for the appointment of inspectors. In the case that, in the opinion of the Central Health Committee, which is responsible for the administration of this Act, no sufficient measures have been adopted, the Committee may order the adoption of means the Committee deems necessary for the prevention of pollution. The Act provides for appeal against orders of the Committee.
