Sustainability as a business opportunity
Thinking of bringing your business to a more sustainable place? The best starting place for any business leader to embrace sustainability is to shift away from looking at sustainability in terms of how much it will cost, and towards assessing the returns it will generate. Consider the phenomenon known as the Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) which emerged in the field of quality management in the ...

Data Requirements Air Emissions/Off-Gases
Predictive modeling may be usefelected to represent the system (e.g., SVE treatment, incinerator, etc.), and site and contaminant informaul in estimating emissions from a site or treatment system. An appropriate theoretical model is stion is used to estimate gross emissions. Because many variables affect emission rates, this approach is limited by the representativeness of the model and by the ...

Dispersion models and air quality data for population exposure assessment to air pollution
Evaluating the extent of exposure to chemicals in absence of continuous measurements of their concentration in air and direct measures of personal exposure is crucial for epidemiological studies. Dispersion models can be a useful tool for reproducing spatio-temporal distribution of contaminants emitted by a specific source. However, they cannot easily be applied to short-term epidemiological ...

Satellite analysis and mesoscale behaviour of volcanic plumes and gas from Miyakejima, Japan
Miyakejima plumes of ash-rich and vapour-rich clouds were detected well by the NOAA/AVHRR data, and the height of eruption cloud on 29 August 2000 was estimated reasonably using the brightness temperature at 11 µm of NOAA/AVHRR and the upper air data taking into account the effect of ash emissivity. We found two different mechanisms which bring the high concentration SO2 to the mainland of Japan: ...

The impact of economic growth and international environmental treaties on the environment in transition economies
Environmental quality and economic development are often thought to be causally linked. This paper empirically examines the impact of economic growth and international environmental treaties on air pollution emissions in several transition countries using panel data analysis. The results indicate that economic growth, proxied by the conventional input factors of production, total labour force and ...

Air quality photochemical study over Amazonia Area, Brazil
This work presents the results of a photochemical modelling system composed of MM5–SMOKE–CMAQ on Brazilian Amazonia area, been a pioneered implementation task. These results focus on the biogenic and biomass burning emissions and the impact of these emissions on regional air quality. Global and local anthropogenic emissions data, satellite–derived biomass burning inventories, ...

Annual European Community CLRTAP emission inventory 1990-2002
This report is the annual European Community CLRTAP emission inventory presenting the European Community air pollution data from the years 1990 to 2002. The report only covers the EU Member States before 1 May 2004 (EU15) because the formal reporting deadline to the LRTAP Convention was 15 February 2004. Due to data gaps, European totals were estimated for NOx, CO, NMVOCs, SOx and NH3 only. The ...

Evaluation of dispersion models for an urban environment: an example from Stockholm, Sweden
An air quality management system has been in operational use in the city of Stockholm, Sweden, for several years. In the system there are, in addition to databases for measurements of air pollution and meteorological parameters and emission data, several dispersion models. The models include a Gaussian and a Eulerian (grid) type of dispersion model. An evaluation of the Gaussian and the grid ...

Are you drowning in Environmental Data While Starving for Information?
Untitled Document A recent article in the Harvard Business Review entitled “IT Doesn't Matter” generated a lot of discussions and an enormous amount of controversy. IT stands for Information Technology. The premise of the article is that information technology is becoming less relevant as a strategic management tool because it has become more accessible and affordable to all. ...

A constant eye on emissions
Due to increasingly rigorous requirements for regulatory and permit compliance, organisations are seeking more from all compliance support systems. The ability to expand systems to encompass new, or migrate existing, regulatory calculations used to monitor environmental performance is vital. Planning strategically for a scalable and sustainable system has been shown to reduce overall compliance ...
