Legal Question in Environmental Law in Connecticut
Health risk from environmental pollution
Hello,
The garbage truck spills a dirty liquid beside my apartment�s door.
I sent complaint to landlord and told about the risk of harming my health this pollution.
But he was undertaking nothing to eliminate pollution and said he can�t do anything.
Could you please give me some advice about my rights, opportunities and way to solve this problem?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,

Re: Health risk from environmental pollution
You should write a letter to your landlord documenting the spill and your demand for it to be cleaned. If you want to take it a step further, maybe take a sample and go to your local department of health to have it tested. It may be a harmless spill. However, if it is not, then you have proof of a pollutant and your landlord's inaction to remedying the problem.
