ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
OBJECTIVES
Mass and concentration
 Mass concentration is also the metric used
when investigating the release and fate
 and transport of conventional contaminants in
the environment. It is likely the best
 suitable metric to represent sedimentation of
manufactured NMs after aggregation
 A potential challenge is to quantify mass
concentration of specific NMs in complex
 biological matrices. The NMs can be altered via
dynamic interaction
 surrounding me For example, the mass
concentration of fullerene C60 was considered
critical
Effluent Standards
 They are generally established for the effluent
from industry and municipality waste
 Water treatment plant to be discharge into
stream, land, sewer, ocean etc.
 Effluent standard system is carried out to
control the following stream standard system.
 No detail stream analysis is required to
determine exact amount of waste treatment.
 Effluent standard can serve as a guide to
establish the stream classification or
during
 organization of any pollution abutment
program.
 Unless the effluent standards are
upgraded, this system does not provide
any effective
Emission standards
 Emission standards are requirements that
set specific limits to the amount
 pollutants that can be released into the
environment.
 Many emissions standards focus on
regulating pollutants released
automobiles (motor cars) and other
powered vehicles but they can also
regulate
 emissions from industry, power plants,
small equipment such as lawn mowers
Emission Norms:-
 It was in 1991 that first time emission norms
were introduced in India for petrol
 cars, diesel cars followed in 1992.
 Emission norms means some rules (which has
specified quantity) decided by the govt
 For control of air pollution.
 Implementation of mandatory catalytic
converters in 1995 for the 4 Metro cities,
 Thus reducing pollution further
Ambient Air Quality Standards
 (AAQS) are setup for protecting public health
from adverse effects of air pollution
 eliminating or reducing to a minimum, those
contaminants
 likely to be hazardous to human health
National Ambient Air Quality
Standards
 A National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS) is a uniform, national standard
 "portion of the atmosphere, external to
buildings, to which the general public has
access.
 Primary Standards Primary NAAQS define the
acceptable concentration of an air pollutant in
 EPM [Effects on welfare includes, but is not
limited to, effects on soils, water, crops,
vegetation,
Minimum National Environmental
Standards for industrial wastewater
 A national environmental standard may:
 Prohibit an activity
 Require resource consent for an activity
 State that a resource consent is not required for
an activity
 Allow a resource consent to be granted for an
activity only if it complies
 With conditions specified in the standard
and/or in the rules of a regional or
 district plan
 standard
 Specify the relationship between existing rules and the
rules in the national
 environmental standard
 Require the review of a water, coastal or discharge permit
 Determine whether an activity is controlled, restricted
discretionary,
 discretionary or non-complying
 State the matters over which discretion is restricted or
control
