First reviewing general environmental laws as they apply to agriculture, it then takes the reader through the different forms of farm pollution, examining the relevant law for each one. Specialist statutory provisions such as the important Control of Pollution (Silage, Slurry and Agricultural Fuel Oil) Regulations 1991, and non-statutory codes of practice are considered in detail.
