Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Moss (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 November 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Contaminated Brownfield Sites.
Contaminated Brownfield Sites
: Because benzo(a)pyrene is so widespread and because the existing threshold figures are so low—I repeat the 1 mg per kg figure—if we did trial testing in half the gardens in this country, we would probably get readings above that level. If benzo(a)pyrene is a carcinogen people in those properties will be worried, and if word gets out those properties will be blighted. Because benzo(a)pyrene is so widespread can the Minister not make it a priority to consider this compound above all others, to ensure that we do not blight huge swathes of the country because we have got our figures on this compound far too low?
