Protection of the Environment Operations (Control of Burning) Regulation 2000.

This Regulation implements the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 by providing specifications on air pollution caused by burnings. Under section 5, a person who burns anything in the open or in an incinerator must do so by such practicable means as are necessary to prevent or minimise air pollution. The regulation also prohibits the burning of certain articles, including tyres, coated wire, paint containers and residues, solvent containers and residues (sect. 6).
