Pollution Monitoring and Regulation

See all recommendations →

 

Strengthen pollution regulation by:

  • establishing a strong and transparent state-wide framework under WA’s EP Act to monitor and regulate waste, chemical pollution (including highly hazardous chemicals and pesticides), PFAS, POPs and microplastics;
  • mandating comprehensive, independent assessments of chemical contamination in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems with biomonitoring of the terrestrial, aquatic and marine environments, focusing on areas with threatened species; and
  • setting robust, statutory industrial pollution regulation standards and enforceable targets to reduce pollution levels and safeguard biodiversity and community health.
