The U.K.`s Her Majesty`s Inspectorate of Pollution (HMIP), in what it calls its most important environmental case to date, is prosecuting Coalite Products (Bolsover, U.K.) for alleged failure to prevent emission of dioxins from an incinerator prior to 1992. The case, being brought under the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974, could establish legal precedents for the health effects of dioxin exposure and corporate liability for past exposures.
