Environmental Managements (EM): Concepts and Tools - Coggle Diagram
Environmental Managements (EM):
Concepts and Tools
Relationship Human & Environment
Changing of Relationship between Human & Environment
Animal Domestication and Pastoralism
Plant Demostication & Agriculture
Hunting & Food Gathering
Science, Technology & Industrialization
Conflict between Human & Environment
Population increase, stress on environmental factors increase, urgently need to frame guidelines & rules
Benefits
control management of environment in proper way
can bring sustainable life
survival planet depend on proper EM
Stress Environmental Factors
air
water
soil
Concept of Environmental Management
Attempt to control human impact
preserve natural resources
Improve human welfare
for future generations
Administrative functions
develop, implement & monitor environment policy of an organization
involves environmental planning, conservation of resources, environmental evaluation, environmental legislation and administration.
Environmental Management Tools
Laws/ Regulation/ Policy
Eco-labeling
Environmental Management System
Environmental Monitoring
Goal & Objectives Of EM
Goals
an approach which integrates Ecology, Policy making & Social development
Objectives
Prevent & solve environmental problems
establish limits of development
develop research institutions and monitoring systems
warn threats and identify opportunities
suggest measures for resource conservation
Develop strategy for improvement quality
suggest long-term and short-term policies for sustainable development
identify new technology for future development

Environmental Management System
Definition
Part of overall management system include organizational structure, planning, procedures, processes & Resources for developing, implementing achieving and reviewing the environmental policy ( ISO|400|)
help to identify, manage, monitor & control Env, Issues in holistic manner.
use High-level structure same as ISO management systems.
includes need for continual improvement and approach to environmental concerns
Benefits
Improved Public Image
can assure impact is positive
Improve Employee Involvement
ISO |400| takes everybody in company to contribute
Enhanced Customer Trust
ISO |400| management systems clear example of being responsible
Reduce Environmental Impacts
Integrate environmental programs into mission
Environmental Monitoring
Define
Systematic sampling
of air, water, soil and biota in order to observe and study the environment and derive knowledge
Methodology of Monitoring
Ground-based Sampling and Measurements
Model-based Monitoring
Satellite based Monitoring
Source Monitoring
Identify and characterization of main sources in urban areas
Determine mass emission rate of pollutants and how it affected
Evaluate effectiveness control devices for pollutant abatement
Evaluation of compliance with statutory limitations on emissions from individual sources.
Ambient Monitoring
Mapping the concentration of pollutants in the environment
Identify of pollution sensitive zones
Identification of possible sites for environmental monitoring stations.
Tracking progress towards National Quality Standards attainment and emission reductions
Serve as the basis for modelling of predicted pollutant concentrations in ambient air
Provide input for human health risk assessment studies.
Benefits
Give info of current conditions, improve or decline
Identify factors that associated with declines of env. performance
assess the env. management programs or policies
