Air Pollutant Regulations 2014 (Malaysia Latest)

Goodbye EQ (Clean Air) Reg. 1978. Welcome EQ (Clean Air) Reg. 2014. Goodbye Black Smoke! All dense smoke are regulated now! CEM gets mandatory for some. Pollutant Loadings is a measure for emission limits. Every entity has a fair share to oblige! A gradual entry into force of this latest air pollution law is anticipated. This law is more specific and was well written. However, its literal wordy documentation aren't presentable for our 'eyeball-engineering'. Hence, I have 'digested and reassembled' them for quicker and targeted viewings by all. Good luck.

Paper: S.H.E - MS on-site

ABSTRACT:

Quality, Safety, Health and the Environment are different fields that integrate disciplines from both the physical and natural sciences. They are able to interact beyond most mathematical logic. Their actual risk to human and the environment are usually prevailed only when it occur either by accidents or catastrophic incidents. We learn to be prepared. Inevitably, despite relentless efforts in magnifying such awareness amongst concerned personnel, these compounded risks seem to persist. This paper presents special emphasis on Potential Hazard and Potential Risk, and, Environmental Aspects’ Impact, and Our Responsibilities in managing them at Work. Undergraduates are encouraged to participate in its discussion as a preparation to enter its 'real world' and job interviews. Wherever you are in this planet. Cheerio!

Site Assessment - Managing Contaminated Site

Preamble
Spillage is another significant cause of soil contamination. However its succinct or remoteness in disclosure (or undisclosure) has usually evades prompt attention by management. Unless, otherwise in cases of public interest that lured intervention by the authority, contaminated sites are often secluded in the humbleness of an ecological solitary. This silence is ironically dynamic in most cases. Contaminated drinking well water, vegetables farms and the Durian Musang King orchard located at a convenient 500m from an abandoned chemical/oil spill sites, for example, remains salient unless a site assessment is deployed to uncover its scary stealth.

ISO14001 Environmental Aspect Illustrated

Clause 6.1.2 of this international standard stipulates the requirement to identify 'environmental aspects' associated with our activities, products or services; which we can control; and those that could cause significant impact to the environment. This article would illustrate this terminology in as much simplicity as possible by using a non-conventional example from a conventionally popular sports worldwide - Tennis. Is tennis ball an environmental aspect? Does it interact with environment? Should tennis be a sport to be organized with environmental due-diligence? How to manage this sport with more environmental practices? Please consider this as a friendly remark from a tennis fan to all tennis organizers and associations. Most importantly, this understanding shall facilitate any other activities regardless of size, type and nature to get closer to the mastery of the term Environmental Aspect.
