As part of this decommissioning the Pollution Incident data will be removed on Thursday 27 July 2017.
The Environmental Pollution Incidents data is available to download under an Environment Agency Conditional Licence from DATA.GOV.UK
We investigate reported pollution incidents to find the source and its impact on the environment. We also try to limit the effects.
