November 1st, 2009
BY EMMA JACKSON
THE EUROPEAN Commission and European Environmental Agency have launched a pollution register for European industries. It shows in 2007, (the latest figures available), the European textiles pre-treatment and dyeing industry released 76.7 tonnes of nitrogen into water and 6,460 tonnes of nitrous oxide into the air, for instance. The data should help companies pinpoint and reduce environmental impact. *http://prtr.ec.europa.eu/
