Open Windrow Composting

EDM number 1670 in 2007-08, proposed by Michael Clapham on 02/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Environmental protection, Pollution and Waste management.

That this House is concerned about the increase in open windrow composting sites and the dangers they pose to public health from the release of millions of pathogens into the air and water courses; calls for more research by the Environment Agency and the Health and Safety Executive on bio-aerosol dispersion at varying wind speeds and the safe distances of residences from such sites; notes that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has requested improved bio-aerosol risk assessments to facilitate updated guidance for applicants and further research on dose response is underway; and considers that DEFRA should advise all local authorities that consideration of new applications be deferred until the further research is completed.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
