PRTRval: a software tool for the validation of E-PRTR emissions data
The European pollutant release and transfer register (E-PRTR) is the Europe-wide emissions register that provides accessible environmental information about industrial facilities. Reporting of E-PRTR data to the European Commission requires that the member states assess the quality of their data. The errors and omissions in these data should be detected during the review process and corrected, ...

Count that carbon
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a significant effort that requires a great deal of planning and implementation, but tracking and reporting this reduction is a whole other process that many California companies are now being required to do. Two thousand and nine marks the first year of required emissions reporting under California’s groundbreaking Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), part of the ...

Real-time air emissions monitoring
Due to increasingly rigorous requirements for regulatory and permit compliance, organizations 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 ...

Fleet management green fleets: five practical ways to improve on sustainability efforts
Green fleets are not only more responsible fleets, but more profitable ones as well. The bottom line is that if your fleet is not managed effectively, you will use more fuel and generate unnecessary emissions and excess costs that impact your profitability. Today’s economic conditions and environmental concerns are providing ample impetus for more and more waste managers to implement green ...

Characterization of steady-state fluorescence properties of polystyrene latex spheres using off- and online spectroscopic methods
Abstract. Fluorescent dyed polystyrene latex spheres (PSLs) are commonly used for characterization and calibration of instruments detecting fluorescence signals from particles suspended in the air and other fluids. Instruments like the Ultraviolet Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (UV-APS) and the Waveband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor (WIBS) are widely used for bioaerosol research, but these instruments ...

How is environmental intelligence providing operational flexibility to mining and industrial facilities?
Today’s operators are investing in digital eyes, ears and noses across their facilities as they plan for their future. Why? The ability to keep industrial operations at full speed while maintaining environmental compliance and limiting their impact on communities will be a core pillar of their success in years to come. When environmental compliance obligations become overly rigid and ...

Case Series: FPI Offers Its Solution for Vietnam Environment Monitoring
Poor air quality threatens the health of millions of people worldwide, but more so for individuals living in Vietnam. Air pollution causes nearly 60,000 deaths yearly in Vietnam. According to Statista, the country's population-weighted concentration of particle pollution (PM) stood at 20.4 micrograms per cubic meter in 2019. That's close to the recommended maximum concentration of 25 micrograms ...

Legal Lookout: EPA Expands Mercury Reduction Program
Untitled Document Mercury is a naturally occurring metal found in the Earth’s crust. At high doses, mercury is known to cause adverse human health effects. Over the past several years, EPA has focused on mercury exposures because of its potential to cause adverse human health and environmental effects, and because of its persistence and widespread distribution in the ...

Step-by-step: How to construct an emissions reporting system
In preparing for a climate agreement in Paris, countries all over the world are planning their domestic strategies for cutting emissions. This often requires new policies to create incentives for low-carbon development, and for that, governments need accurate and comprehensive emissions data. One important building block is a greenhouse gas reporting program, which a growing number of countries ...

Digitising dust management strategies at open pit mine sites
Dust management is one of the most pervasive tasks that affects multiple teams at an open pit mine site. If the weather conditions are right, most routine activities at mining operations can lead to dust events. Fugitive dust emissions produce a serious health risk for workers across the site but also for surrounding communities in the vicinity of the operation. Particulate matter (PM) ...

8 steps to managing your organisation`s Scope 3 carbon emissions
Scope 3 emissions, or 'value chain emissions', represent all the indirect impacts upstream and downstream of an organisation, not already captured by the GHG Protocol's Scope 1 and 2 reporting. These often represent the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and in some cases can account for up to 90% of the total carbon impact. The international Scope 3 Standard categorises emissions across ...
