It discusses pollution control strategies aimed at reducing pollution amounts and toxicity, and sustainable approaches like industrial ecology and materials balance models. 3. Various objectives and techniques for pollution control are outlined, along with a pollution prevention hierarchy and examples of legislation promoting pollution control in different countries.

Pollution
Pollution The Contamination of physical and
biological components of the earth system to such an
extent that normal processes are adversely affected.
Types of Pollution
Land Pollution
Water Pollution
Air Pollution
Noise Pollution
Pollution Control Strategies
What is Pollution Control?
Pollution Control a long-term strategy aimed
at reducing the amount or toxicity of residuals
released to nature.
Sustainable Approaches to Pollution
Control
Industrial Ecology a multidisciplinary
systems approach to the flow of materials and
energy between industrial processes and the
environment
Materials Balance Model

Materials balance model positions the circular


flow within a larger schematic to show the
connections between economic decision
making and the natural environment
Residual the amount of a pollutant remaining
in the environment after a natural or
technological process has occurred.
The Materials Balance
Model
Linear Flow

Linear flow of materials assumes that materials


run in one direction, entering an economic system
as inputs and leaving as wastes or residuals
Material Flow
Cyclical Materials Flow

Cyclical flow of materials assumes that materials


run in a circular pattern in a closed system,
allowing residuals to be returned to the
production process
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Examines the environmental impact of a product or
process by evaluating all its stages from raw materials
extraction to disposal
Four Key components
Goal Definition and Scoping
Inventory Analysis
Impact Analysis
Interpretation

ISO 14000 standards voluntary international standards


for environmental management
Closed Material Flow
Industrial Ecosystems a closed system of
manufacturing whereby the wastes of one process are
reused as inputs in another
Pollution Control to Industrial
Ecology
P2 promotes risk reduction through minimizing or
eliminating wastes while Industrial ecology argues in
favor of using wastes as inputs in other production
processes
P2 solutions are aimed at the single firm while industrial
ecology is aimed at a network of businesses
P2 proposals considers efficiency a tool while industrial
ecology views efficiency as an end itself
Objectives and Techniques in
Pollution Control
Source reduction preventive strategies to reduce the
quantity of any hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant released to the environment at the point of
generation
Toxic chemical use substitution the use of less harmful
chemicals in place of more hazardous substances
Raw materials substitution the use of productive
inputs that generate little or no hazardous waste
Pollution Control
Changes in manufacturing processes the use
of alternative production methods to generate
less hazardous by-products
Product substitution the selection of
environmentally safe commodities in place of
potentially polluting products
Pollution Control
Pollution Prevention Hierarchy Under the
Pollution Prevention Act of 1990
Legislation Promoting Pollution
Control
United States P2 Legislation
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969
integrated pollution prevention into U.S.
environmental legislation
Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 formalized pollution
prevention as part of U.S. policy
Legislation in Other Nations

Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPCC)


Directive of 1996
Canadian Environmental Protection ACT (CEPA) of
1999
Australias National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable
Development (ESD)
Cleaner production a preventive environmental strategy
applied to products and processes to improve efficiency and
reduce risk
Legislation in Pakistan
Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (EPA)
was passed on 6th Dec 1997.
This act states that An Act to provide for the
protection, conservation, rehabilitation and
improvement of the environment, for the
prevention and control of pollution, and
promotion of sustainable development.
PEPA (PAKISTAN ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY)
It is attached to department of the Ministry of Climate
Change and responsible to implement the Pakistan
Environmental Protection Act,1997.
To provide Protection, Conservation, Rehabilitation
and Improvement to environment.
Prevention and Control of Pollution and promotion of
sustainable development.
Corporate Experience with
Pollution Prevention
3M Corporation launched Pollution Prevention
Pays Program in 1975
McDonalds and Environmental Defense
collaboration developed Waste Reduction Action
Plan (WRAP) completed in 1991
Strategic Initiatives and Programs
Green Chemistry Program an initiative that
promotes the development and application of
innovative chemical technologies to achieve pollution
prevention
Disseminating Information and Technology on
a Global Scale

Technology Transfer the advancement and


application of technologies and strategies on a
global scale
Environmental Literacy awareness of the risks
of pollution and natural resource depletion
