I highly recommend this latest edition of Essential Environment. It provides a handy and highly usable guide for the environmental practitioners,regulators and trainees who will help us to ensure a cleaner,less polluted, more resource efficient and healthier future for all.
Prof John Murlis, President of Environmental Protection UK

Concise, clearly-written and fully-indexed, the book will be of great value to those whose work crosses some of the least glamorous but most vital areas of environmental health – an extraordinary list that takes in pollution control, waste management, contaminated land, groundwater, shellfish beds and noise nuisance. It isn’t just a book for libraries, but a practical enforcement tool that, for many EHPs, will become a well-thumbed and indispensable daily companion.
William Hatchett, Environmental Health News Editor

As ever, this excellent reference book and the online version which is continually updated, is a must read for environmental professionals. No matter the differences in legislation through the UK, Essential Environment ensures that we all work towards a cleaner, quieter, healthier and sustainable Scotland and our shared environment.
