520			_aDiscusses the impact of geographic information systems on Huntingdon District Council's attempts to identify and treat contaminated land in the light of a report from the Environment Agency which suggests that 300,000 hectares of land may be affected by industrial or natural contaminants. Geographic information systems have previously been used to overcome the difficulties associated with the need to combine data from different sources and based on different projections. At Huntingdon, however, their use has been expanded to include the mathematical modelling of the dispersion of airborne pollution and the colour coding of energy efficiency ratings for individual properties and has lead to greater efficiency and an increased level of accuracy and detail in the provision of risk ratings.
