Pollution

In urban environments, we are surrounded by different types of pollution on a daily basis. Air, water, land and noise pollution can impact quality of life, create health concerns and harm the natural environment.

Islington Council’s Pollution Service monitors and initiates improvements in the local environment through the assessment of air quality and contaminated land, and by monitoring private water supplies. Islington’s Noise Pollution team responds to concerns and complaints about noise in the borough.
