Pollution Prevention Measurement at Facilities
Author: Terri Goldberg

ISBN: 9780756732028
Category : Technology
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
The Pollution Prevention Program of the Northeast Waste Mgmt. Officials' Assoc. (NEWMOA) conducted a survey of the 6 New England states, NJ and NY to assess how they were measuring pollution prevention (P2) progress at mfg. facilities in 1993. The survey was conducted to provide information for a workshop on P2 measurement at facilities. This document contains 2 reports: (1) Status of the NE States' Programs, shows that most of the northeast states are requiring targeted facilities to measure their pollution prevention progress. The survey also revealed that most states are measuring P2 progress at facilities in response to a specific legislative mandate; (2) Proceed. from NEWMOA's Workshop on Pollution Prevention Measurement at Facilities.

Measures of Environmental Performance and Ecosystem Condition
Author: National Academy of Engineering
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309522331
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
When Cleveland's Cuyahoga River caught fire in 1969, no environmental measurements were necessary to know the seriousness of the problem. Incidents like the Cuyahoga fire raise an important question: Can catastrophes-in-the-making be detected early enough to be prevented? For those in industry, such disasters point to the need for measures that can improve the environmental performance of processes, products, business practices, and linked industrial systems. In Measures of Environmental Performance and Ecosystem Condition, experts share their insights on environmental metrics. The volume explores the most productive relationship between measures of environmental performance and measures of ecosystem conditions. It reviews current approaches, evaluates structures for business decisionmaking, and includes a matrix for determining the environmental performance of industrial facilities. Case studies include: Development and application of a water-quality rating scheme for streams and reservoirs in the Tennessee Valley. Three years of successful experience with waste metrics at 3M. The book covers the range of environmental performance and condition metrics, from the use of material flow data to monitor environmental performance at the national level to the use of bioassays to measure the toxicity of industrial effluents. This book offers something for everyone--policymakers, executives, engineers, managers, and advocates--with a stake in the measurement of environmental performance and ecological conditions.
