In the 2016 Health Risk Assessment (HRA) prepared for the Department of Health by Toxikos, the Executive Summary stated “there is sufficient evidence of potential impacts on human health from dust, specifically PM10 in the Toxikos HRA to warrant dust management controls and strategic land-use planning to reduce community exposure to dust”, referring to recommendations in this HRA, I ask: (a) have any of the recommendations been implemented; (b) if yes to (a): (i) which recommendations were implemented; and (ii) when were they implemented; (c) if no to (a), why not; (d) are there plans to implement any of the recommendations not currently implemented; and (e) if yes to (d), when are these recommendations going to be implemented?
