THE MANCHESTER AREA POLLUTION
ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Manchester Area Pollution Advisory Council (MAPAC) is a regional
environmental protection group representing 12 local authorities in the
North West of England. It operates under the guidance of the Greater
Manchester Public Protection Partnership, as one of their specialist
working groups. In addition, there is partnership working on particular
projects with representatives of industry, commerce, medical and academic
interests within the region, and consultation with Government departments
such as Defra (Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).
MAPAC acts as an advisory body to the constituent authorities for the
purpose of improving the control and reduction of terrestrial, aquatic and
airborne pollution, including noise pollution.
Further information can be obtained throughout the site by navigating

provide in relation to pollution are described under the relevant subject.
Contact details for a particular member authority can be obtained
