Despite a survey being carried out in 2011 that claimed it could pose a risk to human health, Havering Council claims it needs another six months to assess the air quality around a constantly burning landfill site.
An ambitious three-year project at the University of York is destined to become a world-leading facility for the study of domestic, indoor air quality. The £1.2m funding – secured from The Wolfson Foundation and the University itself – will allow the research team to build a semi-detached house, known at the INTERIORS Facility, on campus.
