INTRODUCTION

Historical Background

Environmental Protection UK was founded as the Coal Smoke Abatement Society (CSAS) in 1898. The society was instrumental in the introduction of the 1926 Public Health (Smoke Abatement Act) and the 1956 Clean Air Act (following the Great London Smog of 1952.

The Society changed its name several times in the 20th century, reflecting the growth of the Society as smaller bodies amalgamated as well as the changing scope of the Society’s aims as the menace of coal smoke receded. In 1958 the Society became the National Society for Clean Air, and in the 1970s campaigned vigorously on air pollution from industry and transport. One of the biggest achievements of the Society after the Clean Air Acts was the development of the concept of Local Air Quality Management and the incorporation of this in the Environment Act 1995. The organisation has also made a significant contribution to policy and practice in managing noise pollution: in 1984 the National Noise Committee was established. The Land Quality Committee was formed in the late 1990s and has provided a unique forum for discussion on issues surrounding the implementation of the Contaminated Land Regime (Part 2A), bringing together both regulators and industry: the Committee has also addressed related issues through sub groups, such as soil, waste and brownfield regeneration. The name was changed to Environmental Protection UK in 2007 but at the end of March 2012 it ceased to operate as a fully staffed and funded organisation.

Timeline: 1898: Coal Smoke Abatement Society formed to enforce the smoke abatement clauses of the Public Health (London) Act 1905: Dr Harold Des Voeux, Honorary Treasurer of the Society, coins the word ‘smog’ to describe the combination of smoke and natural fog that often had disastrous consequences in urban areas 1909: Various smoke abatement societies based in northern cities joined together to form the Smoke Abatement League of Great Britain, based in Manchester 1929: The Coal Smoke Abatement Society and the Smoke Abatement League of Great Britain merge to form the National Smoke Abatement Society 1937: NSAS moves to London to be nearer to the seat of government and to be recognised as a national organisation 1958: The Society changes its name to the National Society for Clean Air 1970: The Society moves to Brighton 2007: The Society changes its name to Environmental Protection UK 2012: Due to government spending cuts, EPUK are forced to close their Brighton offices, but continue to run as a voluntary organisation
