Cost of Air Pollution
• 50,000 UK Deaths Each Year (2010)• Lower life expectancy – up to 9 years• European Fine – potential 30 Million• Pollution cost the NHS £20.2 Billion each year

Why do we need to act now?• The population in the UK is growing with an estimated additional 250,000 households per year to 2031 and consuming more resources
• Too much is being wasted, which leads to unnecessary extraction of raw materials and presents further challenges for appropriate and safe waste management
• More than 330 million tonnes of waste is produced in the UK each year
![Page 16: What it means](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110212/56814290550346895daebb24/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The benefits of action
£6.4 billion potential savings Each year
Reducing Waste could save
£211 million to landfill£125 million incinerated

Activity
Making it localHow can we avoid waste and save
resources at work
![Page 18: What it means](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110212/56814290550346895daebb24/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Good Practice at Work• Using locally produced materials – minimising transportation costs
• Using local labour and services which support the local community
• Saving energy – turning off equipment when not in use (save water - include taps)
• Using reclaimed materials• Saving left over materials for use elsewhere• Segregating waste
![Page 19: What it means](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110212/56814290550346895daebb24/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Avoiding Pollution• Stack materials (sand, cement, lime) carefully to
avoid ground/water contamination• Avoid spillages, keep lids on tins, adhesives and
solvents when not in use. Pick up spilt nails/tacks• Minimise production of smoke/dust to avoid air
contamination• Consider surrounding people and properties who
might be affected by noise or vibration from site operations.
• Beware of disturbing protected wildlife

Hazardous Waste• Should not be included in general skips, if it gets into
landfill, hazardous waste can be very damaging to the environment.– Asbestos– Batteries– Used spill kits– Fluorescent light tubes– Waste solvents (white spirit, oil, bitumen based materials)– Epoxy resins and mastics
Must never be mixed in with other types of waste
