This book examines the increasingly prevalent issues around
sewerage and sewage and explores what environmental health
practitioners (EHPs) can contribute to addressing this issue and
what further action is required. The book sets out an analysis of
the contents of raw sewage, including what should not be flushed
away, explaining that householders who flush non-flushable products
into the sewerage system contribute to the problem (and also give
the water and sewerage companies an excuse). The work explains the
terminology used and will also examine the legal issues that have
arisen from failure of the UK sewerage system to operate or be
operated as intended to protect public health. The operation of the
privatised water and sewerage companies in England and Wales and
the regulatory system to which they are supposedly subject is
scrutinized along with an examination of what EHPs can do to
address the problems that lead to sewage from homes and businesses
polluting the environment. The book considers what has been called
regulatory failure and what reforms and investment are needed and
what EHPs can do to bring pressure on other agencies and policy
makers to ensure that untreated sewage does not end up polluting to
environment. This book is essential reading for all environmental
health practitioners, but also anyone keen to learn more about the
issues surrounding the increasingly volatile UK sewage system and
the companies and institution involved in its operation and
governance.
Housing is a social determinant of health and this book aims to
provide a concise source of the theory and evidence on safe and
healthy housing to inform students, academics, public and
environmental health practitioners, and policy-makers, nationally
and internationally. The book reviews the functions of housing and
its relationship with the health and well-being of residents. It
examines the implications of failures to satisfy those functions,
including the potential impact on individuals, households, and
society. It assesses options directed at avoiding, removing, or
reducing threats and at promoting healthy indoor environments,
particularly for the most susceptible and vulnerable members of
society. It is essential reading for students, academics, and
professionals within the areas of environmental health, public
health, housing, built environment, social policy, housing policy,
health policy, and law.
Statutory Nuisance and Residential Property: Environmental Health
Problems in Housing examines the statutory nuisance provisions in
the Environmental Protection Act 1990 pertaining to the condition
of premises and related problems in housing and compares these with
the provisions of the Housing Act 2004. The book discusses the
separate development of statutory nuisance and housing legislation
in an historic context, which provides a useful basis for the
understanding and interpretation of legislation and the different
remedies available today. The work includes a chapter on actions by
"persons aggrieved" using section 82 of the Environmental
Protection Act 1990 and also considers remedies provided in the
Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. This book: *
investigates housing problems in the context of the relevant law;
and * demonstrates how to use the legal framework appropriately and
be able to decide on the most appropriate provision for dealing
with environmental health problems associated with residential
property. This is an essential and practical book for environmental
health and housing professionals, as well as for advisers and
lawyers in the private and public housing sectors.
