Almost 2,000 m3 of solvents and 22,000 tonnes of heavy metals, infectious wastes, biological sludges, lubricants and intractable wastes are disposed of on land or into water courses. 4,000 tonnes of solid wastes are generated daily. Of these, only about 3,400 tonnes are colle

13、obal mean surface air temperature and subsurface ocean temperature to rise.Rising global temperatures are expected to raise sea levels and change precipitation and other local climate conditions.Changing regional climates could alter forests, crop yields, and water supplies.This could also affect hu

14、man health, animals, and many types of ecosystems.Deserts might expand into existing rangelands, and features of some of our national parks might be permanently altered. 13EFFECTS OF WASTEAccording to NAS:- Some countries are expected to become warmer, although sulfates might limit warming in some a

15、reas.- Scientists are unable to determine which parts of those countries will become wetter or drier, but there is likely to be an overall trend toward increased precipitation and evaporation, more intense rainstorms, and drier soils.- Whether rainfall increases or decreases cannot be reliably proje

16、cted for specific areas.14Effects of waste.Activities that have altered the chemical composition of the atmosphere:-Buildup of GHGs primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N20).-C02 is released to the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels, wood and wood products, and sol

17、id waste.-CH4 is emitted from the decomposition of organic wastes in landfills, the raising of livestock, and the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil.-N02 is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities, as well as during combustion of solid waste and fossil fuels. In 197

18、7, the US emitted about one-fifth of total global GHGs.Inventory of US Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2000, US EPA, Office of Atmospheric Programs, April 2002 EPA 236-R-02-003.15WHAT SHOULD BE DONE Reduce Waste- Reduce office paper waste by implementing a formal policy to duplex all draft

19、reports and by making training manuals and personnel information available electronically.- Improve product design to use less materials.- Redesign packaging to eliminate excess material while maintaining strength.- Work with customers to design and implement a packaging return program.- Switch to r

20、eusable transport containers.- Purchase products in bulk.16WHAT SHOULD BE DONEReuse- Reuse corrugated moving boxes internally.- Reuse office furniture and supplies, such as interoffice envelopes, file folders, and paper.- Use durable towels, tablecloths, napkins, dishes, cups, and glasses.- Use inco

21、ming packaging materials for outgoing shipments.- Encourage employees to reuse office materials rather than purchase new ones.17WHAT SHOULD BE DONEDonate/Exchange- old books- old clothes- old computers- excess building materials- old equipment to local organizations18WHAT SHOULD BE DONEEmployee Educ

22、ation- Develop an “office recycling procedures” packet.- Send out recycling reminders to all employees including environmental articles.- Train employees on recycling practices prior to implementing recycling programs.- Conduct an ongoing training process as new technologies are introduced and new e

23、mployees join the institution.19WHAT SHOULD BE DONE Employee Education- education campaign on waste management that includes an extensive internal web site, quarterly newsletters, daily bulletins, promotional signs and helpful reference labels within the campus of an institution.20WHAT SHOULD BE DON

24、EPreventing Waste- packaging waste reductions and changes in the manufacturing process- use biodegradable materials21WHAT SHOULD BE DONEConduct outreach program adopting an ecologically sound waste management system which includes: waste reduction segregation at source composting recycling and re-us

27、of policies and procedures that define how an organization will evaluate, manage, and track its environmental impact. It follows the basic model:Plan Do Check Act This facilitates cost-effective environmental performance by defining and continuously improving the process and actions that an organiza

28、tion undertakes to meet its environmental goals.24EMS Development A Policy Statement that communicates an organizations environmental priorities to employees. Managerial endorsement of the policy statement demonstrates the organizations commitment to the effort and willingness to allocate resources

29、for implementation. Once a policy statement is in place, the organization implements it following the model.25Stages in the Implementation of EMSunderstanding of eco-ethicsenvironmental and health effectseconomic impactsliabilitiesAfter establishing a complete list of significant aspects, the organi

30、zation sets environmental goals and develops a plan to achieve those goals.Identify all environmental aspects: any environmental or health and safety impacts resulting from activities and services. The organization then evaluates each aspect according to a variety of criteria:1. Plan262. Do The do-p

31、hase of the model involves implementation of the environmental plan through employee training and establishment of operation controls.Check Evaluates progress toward meeting program goals through ongoing monitoring and measuring and periodic EMS audits.ActInvolves taking corrective action to update

32、and improve the environmental plan. For example, if an organization makes significant progress on one environmental aspect, another environmental aspect will replace it on the priority list. 27Why Should an Organization Adopt an EMS?1. Improve environmental performance It helps monitor energy and wa

33、ter conservation, resource efficiencies, and pollution prevention. 2. Better regulatory complianceIncrease regulatory compliance which is especially important for organizations that spend time and resources with regulatory violations. 3. Certification and recognitionEMS implementation can enhance an organizations image and improve public community relations.28EMS Certification EPA encourages organizations to use recognized EM
