The variation in radon levels between different parts of the country is mainly controlled by the underlying geology. Radon decays to form radioactive particles that can enter the body by inhalation. Inhalation of the short-lived decay products of radon has been linked to an increase in the risk of developing cancers of the respiratory tract, especially of the lungs, and is considered to cause approximately 5% of deaths from lung cancer in the UK. In order to limit the risk to individuals, the Government has adopted an Action Level for radon in dwellings of 200 becquerels per cubic metre (Bq m-3). The Government advises householders that, where the radon level exceeds the Action Level, measures should be taken to reduce the concentration. In the early 1990s, administrative and policy responses to radon problems in new development had limitations in that: − new development was not adequately covered by existing responses in radon-prone areas which had not been designated as radon Affected Areas. − the mapping procedures used to identify those areas where protective measures were required in new dwellings in some cases resulted in radon protection not being installed where required, and vice versa. − they did not adequately cover material change of use or non-domestic development, including workplaces and certain residential institutions. − procedures were not in place to ensure that developers were made aware of requirements for protective measures in new dwellings or of employers' responsibilities with regard to radon under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and Ionising Radiations Regulations 1985 at the planning or pre-planning stage. − developers and future occupiers of buildings subject to material change of use (for example from agricultural or workplace to domestic use (e.g. barn conversions)) but not subject to Requirement C2 of Schedule 1 of Building Regulations 1991 were not necessarily made aware of the possible need for protective or remedial measures. These limitations have been addressed by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) research programme ‘Dealing with radon emissions in respect of new development’ which aimed to identify the circumstances, if any, where new development may be adversely affected by radon emissions and the appropriate response to such problems. Fulfilment of these objectives will help to ensure that occupiers of new domestic and non-domestic developments will be adequately protected against the harmful affects of radon. The research programme, carried out by the British Geological Survey (BGS) working in collaboration with the Building Research Establishment Ltd. (BRE), Land Use Consultants (LUC) and the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB). The report Dealing with radon emissions in new development: Summary report and recommended framework for planning guidance (Appleton et al., 2000) explains the background to dealing with radon in new development.

VIII. yJ HonOon: Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., Ltd., 124, Chancery Lane. — PREFACE This volume of Marriage Registers, the eighth of the Derbyshire series, contains the Registers of nine parishes, besides an odd Register for Ilkeston parish, omitted from the last volume. 1379096 It has not been thought needful to print the entries verbatim. They are reduced to a common form, and the following con- tractions, as before, have been freely used : w. = widower or widow. p. = of the parish of. co. = in the county of. dioc.= in the diocese of. lie. = marriage licence. It should be remembered that previous to 1752 the year was calculated as beginning on the 25th March, instead of the I St of January, so that a Marriage taking place on say 20th February, 1625, would be on that date in 1626 according to our reckoning ; but as the civil and ecclesiastical year were both used, this is sometimes expressed by 20th February, i62f. In all cases where the marriage is stated to have taken place by Licence, that fact is recorded, as the searcher thereby knows that further information as to age, parentage, and voca- tion of the parties is probably recoverable from the Allegations in the Archdeaconry or other ofifice from which the Licence was issued.

  • Rural Discontent in Derbyshire 1830·1850
    RURAL DISCONTENT IN DERBYSHIRE 1830·1850 Alan Frank Jones Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Sheffield January 2004 ii Alan Frank Jones RURAL DISCONTENT IN DERBYSlllRE 1830-1850 ABSTRACT Social protest, especially in agricultural regions, has occupie~ and caused considerable debate among, historians for many years. This thesis seeks to add to this debate, by looking at various forms of protest in Derbyshire between 1830 and 1850. This thesis examines three aspects of criminal activity: poaching, arson and animal maiming. It contends that none of these crimes can simply be categorised as acts of protest. In conjunction with an investigation of these three crimes, acts of protest such as strikes and episodes of reluctance to conform are also discussed. It argues that the motives behind various criminal activities and anti-authority behaviour were varied and complex. Arson and animal maiming were rarely co-ordinated, mostly they were individual attacks. However, on a few occasions both arson and animal maiming were directed against certain people. In the instances of poaching, there were more proven cases of gang participation than in either arson or animal maiming, with groups of men raiding game preserves. However, the great majority of raids were individual undertakings. What is more, poaching was carried out on a greater scale throughout the county than either arson or animal maiming. This thesis seeks to put these activities into the context of economic and social change in Derbyshire between 1830 and 1850. It maintains that there was a breaking down of the old social order.
