Report a chemical or radiation incident

If someone’s life or safety is in danger now, call 999

To report a chemical spillage or radiation problem, call 020 8854 8888

We work with the Fire Brigade, Police and other public services to respond to chemical incidents. 

How we monitor hazardous substances 

We check the background levels of both gamma and beta radiation. We operate a continuous gamma radiation alarm, along with other London authorities, and send data to the government's national database. 

How to get rid of hazardous waste 

We run a hazardous waste collection and disposal service, in partnership with the City of London.
