Industrial pollution control 

Some industrial processes have the potential to cause pollution. They must have a permit to operate. 

The control of industrial emissions is done through the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 and the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010. 

Under these regulations there are 3 permits for pollution control: 

• Part A1 permits are regulated by the Environment Agency and cover industries thought to be the most polluting like large scale power stations – see information on A1 installations on the GOV.UK website  
• Part A2 permits are regulated by Haringey and include processes like galvanizers and brick works 
• Part B permits are regulated by Haringey and include processes like dry cleaning, petrol stations and crematoria
