520			_aA study published in the journal "Occupational and environmental medicine" stresses that local authorities must take expert advice on the potential public health risks of developing sites on industrially contaminated land and include risk assessments at the earliest possible stage of the planning process. The study examined the deleterious health effects of the presence of the chemical hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD) on residents in existing homes adjacent to two quarries in Halton, Cheshire.
