Integrated Environmental Management Information System (IEMIS)
The document outlines the Integrated Environmental Management Information System (IEMIS), focusing on the Air Quality Index (AQI) and Pollution Emission Inventory (PEI). It provides frameworks for monitoring air pollutants such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter, detailing data input formats, user access levels, and health effects associated with various AQI classifications. Additionally, it compares AQI methodologies from different countries, including Australia, the United States, and India.
Integrated Environmental Management Information System (IEMIS)
- 1. INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM(IEMIS) Phase I: Air Quality Index (AQI) and Pollution Emission Inventory (PEI)
- 2. BACKGROUND •Integrated Environmental managementinformation system (IEMIS) “A system for systematically obtaining, processing, and dissemination of relevant environmental information available under various thematic areas in an integrated manner” • 89 core set of environmental indicators differentiated into 12 thematic modules
- 3. BACKGROUND (CON.) 1. Water 2.Air 3. Land and agriculture 4. Waste and chemicals 5. Biodiversity and forest 6. Climate change 7. Energy 8. Noise 9. EIA/IEE 10. Disaster 11. Financing 12. Cultural and Historical sites
- 4. OBJECTIVE AND DELIVERABLES Preliminarydesign of the Integrated Environmental Management Information Systems (IEMIS) for Air •Data input formats on any one of the modules/themes and its respective indicators •Flow of information through the initial system •Output of the system in the form of a report •User groups and roles with access levels (who has what access)
- 5. LIMITATIONS OF THESTUDY •Legality •Data availability
- 6. CRITERIA AIR POLLUTANTS •Carbon monoxide (CO) • Particulate matters (PM10 and PM2.5) • Ozone (O3) • Sulfur dioxide (SO2) • Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and • Lead (Pb)
- 7. IEMIS-AIR •Air Quality Index(AQI) •Pollution Emission Inventory (PEI)
- 8. AIR QUALITY INDEX(AQI) An AQI is defined as an overall scheme that transform weighted values of individual air pollution (CO, PM2.5 etc.) related parameters in a single number or a set of numbers. •Location classification •Resource allocation •Conformance to standards •Trend analysis •Public information
- 9. AIR QUALITY MONITORINGAROUND THE WORLD Australia Air Quality Index Value = Pollutant concentration Pollution standard concetration × 100
- 10. AIR QUALITY MONITORINGAROUND THE WORLD United States (EPA) Where, Ip= the index for pollutant p Cp=the rounded concentration of pollutant p BPHi= the breakpoint that is greater than or equal to Cp BPLo= the breakpoint that is less than or equal to Cp IHi=the AQI value corresponding to BPHi ILo= the AQI value corresponding to BPLo AQI = Max (Ip)

- 14. AIR QUALITY INDEX(AQI) AQI Associated Health Impacts Good (0–50) Minimal Impact Satisfactory (51–100) May cause minor breathing discomfort to sensitive people Moderately polluted (101–200) May cause breathing discomfort to the people with lung disease such as asthma and discomfort to people with heart disease, children and older adults Poor (201–300) May cause breathing discomfort to people on prolonged exposure and discomfort to people with heart disease Very Poor (301–400) May cause respiratory illness to the people on prolonged exposure. Effect may be more pronounced in people with lung and heart diseases Severe (401-500) May cause respiratory effects even on healthy people and serious health impacts on people with lung/heart diseases. The health impacts may be experienced even during light physical activity
