INTRODUCTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL

Environmental  pollution has adversely affected biodiversity for the last two centuries and continues to increase globally. The effect most closely correlated with loss of ecosystem services is toxification of environmental sites, whereby the organisms living in the ecosystem are damaged because of the poisonous nature of many pollutants. As many toxicants (poisonous materials) can act even with very minimal exposure, it is almost impossible and economically infeasible to remove dissolute pollution from the environment with modern technical methods. Pollution prevention is not just the responsibility of businesses and government agencies. Citizens can help solve environmental problems by reducing pollution at the source, before it is created. Industries often use a large amount of water and chemicals in their manufacturing processes. Some industries use or produce highly specialized and potentially hazardous substances by their nature, such as pharmaceutical producers. Accordingly, there are industry-specific recommendations and requirements to minimize pollutants going to the sewer system.

We can all apply pollution prevention in our daily lives. Whether in the home and garden, at the supermarket or on the road, we can make pollution prevention choices every day in order to protect the environment, save money and conserve natural resources.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

A holistic understanding of the various environmental media and the types and nature of pollutants that affects them. The sources and origins of these various pollutants and their respective pollution control technologies are displayed both in principles and practical installation. Practical issues seen on site are also discussed. Land-based and Marine-based operations/activities.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Internal Auditors, EMR and EMS committee, Personnel in charge and/or operates the various pollution control equipments, Production/Process Heads whose activity releases environmental pollutants and the maintenance personnel.
