Chemicals & Poisons
From April 2013 HPA is part of Public Health England.
PHE provides authoritative scientific and medical advice to the NHS and other bodies about the known health effects of chemicals, poisons and other environmental hazards.
Every day in Britain, serious chemical incidents occur which threaten people's health. Such potential health threats might involve chemical fires, chemical contamination of the environment, or the deliberate release of chemicals and poisons. Old tyres catch fire releasing clouds of toxic smoke, acid leaks out of a tanker creating noxious gas or an explosion rips through an industrial plant.
