Environmental management definitions

"Conservation is a state of

harmony between men and land." Environmental management is the practice of creating this harmony. It involves management of both the living and non-living components--all the components of nature.

conservationist Aldo Leopol (http://www.ehow.com)


Environmental management definitions A systematic approach to minimizing the

damage created by an organization to the environment in which it operates Environmental management involves reducing pollution, waste, and the consumption of natural resources by implementing an environmental action plan. This plan brings together the key elements of environmental management, including an organization's environmental policy statement, an environmental audit, environmental management system, and external standards.

Environmental Monitoring

Environmental Monitoring Environmental monitoring is a system

of observing, estimation and forecasting of environmental state that permits to pick out the changing of biosphere state over a natural background as a result of human activity

Yuri Israel, Former head of Hydro meteorological

Committee of the USSA


Environmental monitoring Methods: on-site, distant or remote


Environmental monitoring


Environmental monitoring Remote sensing is the science of

obtaining and interpreting information from a distance, using sensors that are not in physical contact with the object being observed.

www.microimage .com


Environmental monitoring Type of remote sensing: Passive, Active.

Processes of interaction between EM energy and matter: Transmission Absorption, Emission, Specular Reflection, Scattering.


Environmental monitoring Remote sensing: Remotely sensed images can be used in

many applications, for example: mineral exploration monitoring ocean currents land use planning monitoring the condition of forest and

agricultural areas


Environmental monitoring Remote sensing The information from remotely sensed images can be used in a number of ways for a number of purposes. It is usually combined with information from other data sources and on-the-ground observations, called `ground truth', to get a more complete picture of what is happening and to check suspected features or changes.

Environmental monitoring Environmental Monitoring in Russia Common State System of Environmental Monitoring

was abolished in 2002 Now there are several separate systems of

environmental monitoring in Russia: - soil pollution with pesticides and heavy metals; - pollution of land surface water and seas; - transboundary transport of pollutants; - complex observation for nature pollution and green state; - chemical composition and acidity of precipitation and snow cover; - air background pollution; - radioactive pollution of nature.


Environmental Modeling Description and forecasting of the

ecological systems behavior using models based on two interrelated ideas that relate to all systems:

black box principle; white box principle; Occam's razor: Of two equivalent theories or explanations, all other things being equal, the simpler one is to be preferred.

Decision making 1. Identify the decision to be made

together with the goals it should achieve.

2. Get the facts. 3. Develop alternatives. 4. Rate each alternative. 5. Rate the risk of each alternative. 6. Make the decision.

Environmental Management of Enterprises A planned approach to minimizing

and/or preventing an organizations impact on the environment


Environmental Management of Enterprises BS 7750 BS7750 is a specification for an

environmental management system. The system is used to describe the company's environmental management system, evaluate its performance and to define policy, practices, objectives and targets; and provides a catalyst for continuous improvement. The standard was first published in June

1992 and reviewed to latest version in 1994.


Environmental Management of Enterprises EMAS: EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme)

is a voluntary environmental management system (EMS), under which companies and other public organizations evaluate, manage and continuously improve their environmental performance. EMAS has been operative since 1995. The latest revision (EMAS III) came into effect on 11 January 2010 - Regulation (EC) No 1221/2009 (EMAS III)

(http://ec.europa.eu/environment/emas/ about/summary_en.htm)


Environmental Management of Enterprises EMAS: Participation is voluntary and extends to public or

private organizations operating in the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA) Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. An increasing number of candidate countries are also implementing the scheme in preparation for their accession to the EU. EMAS III makes registration to the scheme also possible for organizations and sites located outside the EU and EEA. The Commission , in cooperation with the Forum of Competent Bodies will develop a guidance on registration outside the Community.


Environmental Management of Enterprises To receive EMAS registration an organization must

comply with the following steps: 1.Adopt an environmental policy containing commitment both to comply with all relevant environmental legislation and to achieve continuous improvements in environmental performance. 2.Conduct an environmental review considering all environmental aspects of the organizations activities, products and services, methods to assess these, its legal and regulatory framework and existing environmental management practices and procedures.


Environmental Management of Enterprises 3.In the light of the results of the review, establish an effective environmental management system aimed at achieving the organizations environmental policy defined by the top management. The management system needs to set responsibilities, objectives, means, operational procedures, training needs, monitoring and communication systems.

4.Carry out an environmental audit assessing in particular the management system in place and conformity with the organizations policy and programme as well as compliance with relevant environmental regulatory requirements.


Environmental Management of Enterprises 5.Provide a statement of its environmental performance which lays down the results achieved against the environmental objectives and the future steps to be undertaken in order to continuously improve the organizations environmental performance.

6.The environmental review, EMS, audit procedure and the environmental statement must be approved by an accredited EMAS verifier, and the validated statement needs to be sent to the EMAS Competent Body for registration and made publicly available before an organization can use the EMAS logo.


Environmental Management of Enterprises ISO 14001 An Environmental Management System meeting the

requirements of ISO 14001:2004 is a management tool enabling an organization of any size or type to:

identify and control the environmental impact of its activities, products or services, and to improve its environmental performance continually, and to implement a systematic approach to setting environmental objectives and targets, to achieving these and to demonstrating that they have been achieved.

(http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_14000_essentials)


Environmental Management of Enterprises Basis elements of EMS: Developing an environmental policy Identifying environmental aspects and

impacts Planning how to fulfill the environmental

policy Implementing means to control and mitigate

environmental risk Checking effectiveness of the EMS and

making improvements Reviewing the EMS with top management
