ALKALI, &C. WORKS REGULATION ACT 1906 - SECT 7

Prevention of discharge of noxious or offensive gas in scheduled works.

7.(1) The owner of any work specified in the First Schedule to this Act
(hereinafter referred to as a scheduled work) shall use the best practicable
means for preventing the escape of noxious or offensive gases by the exit flue
of any apparatus used in any process carried on in the work, and for
preventing the discharge, whether directly or indirectly, of such gases into
the atmosphere, and for rendering such gases where discharged harmless and
inoffensive, subject to the qualification that, on the basis of the amount of
acid gas per cubic foot, no objection shall be taken under this section by an
inspector

(a)To any muriatic acid gas in the air, smoke, or gases discharged into the
atmosphere by a chimney or other final outlet, where the amount of such acid
gas in each cubic foot of air, smoke, or gases so discharged does not exceed
the amount limited by the last preceding section:

(b)To any acid gases in the air, smoke, or gases discharged into the
atmosphere by a chimney or other final outlet receiving the residual gases
from any process for the concentration or distillation of sulphuric acid,
where the total acidity of such acid gases (including those from the
combustion of coal) in each cubic foot of air, smoke, or gases so discharged
does not exceed what is equivalent to one grain and a half of sulphuric
anhydride.

[(2) If the owner of any such work fails, in the opinion of the court having
cognizance of the matter, to use such means, he shall be guilty of an
offence.]
