- This national link between brownfield land and public health created much discussion amongst environmental engineers in the contaminated land industry (here). Its publication allowed Johnson to engage the Government’s Environmental Audit Committee on this topic. This issue was discussed in a debate (organised by Johnson) at Westminster where Johnson and others (eg Public Health England - sarah.dack@phe.gov.uk) contributed. The EAC launched the first ever Soil Health Inquiry (Dec 2015) at this debate. Johnson gave oral and written evidence (here) at this Inquiry on this paper. Coverage on links between brownfield land and illhealth by Johnson also appeared in the Guardian.
