This volume aims to identify, predict and evaluate the potential biological, physical, social and health effects effects of a project on its surrounding environment. The book explains what constitutes good practice in applying environmental assessment as an environmental management tool. A wide range of international case studies are used by the authors to demonstrate how the different methods, techniques and disciplines of environmental assessment can be used in practice. The authors address the key concepts for environmental assessment procedures: methods for using E.A.; techniques for...

Air Quality Assessment is an integral component of any environmental management process. It involves not only the identification, monitoring, prediction and evaluation of such critical variables as source emissions and meteorogical conditions, but also potential changes to air quality as a result of emissions from a development and the mitigation and control of these emissions. This work describes the techniques available for an AQA while detailing the concepts and methodologies involved. It reviews: the principles of air quality management; primary sources of air pollution; impact of...
