Best Available Techniques (BAT) for Preventing and Controlling Industrial Pollution - Activity 7: Cross Country Analysis of selected BREFs for Iron-Steel, Paper-Pulp and Waste incineration sectorsIndustrial facilities have a significant impact on the environment due to their use of large amounts of raw materials and energy, resulting in the release of pollutants into the air, water and soil. These...

Best Available Techniques (BAT) for Preventing and Controlling Industrial Pollution - Activity 6: Cross Country analysis of selected sectors for comparisonIndustrial facilities play a major role in environmental consequences as their processes may use large amounts of raw materials and energy, and in return, may release significant amounts of pollutants into the air, water and soil. As part of the...

Best Available Techniques (BAT) for Preventing and Controlling Industrial Pollution - Activity 5: Value chain approaches to determining BAT for industrial installationsIn the transition towards a non-polluting, resource efficient industry, greater consideration of value chains shows potential to deliver greater overall environmental benefit than less integrated approaches that focus on individual ...

Best Available Techniques (BAT) for Preventing and Controlling Industrial Pollution - Activity 4: Guidance Document on Determining BAT, BAT-Associated Environmental Performance Levels and BAT-Based Permit ConditionsA growing number of governments seek to adopt an approach based on Best Available Techniques (BAT) as part of the regulatory framework to prevent and control industrial emissions. Provi...

Best Available Techniques (BAT) for Preventing and Controlling Industrial Pollution - Activity 3: Measuring the Effectiveness of BAT PoliciesIndustrial pollution prevention and control policies can achieve significant environmental, financial and human health gains. A growing number of countries use Best Available Techniques (BAT) to set industrial emission levels that are rooted in evidence and b...

Best Available Techniques for Preventing and Controlling Industrial Pollution - Activity 2: Approaches to establishing BAT Around the WorldBest Available Techniques (BAT) have emerged as a key policy tool to prevent and control the emission of industrial pollutants, and thus to ensure the protection of human health and the environment. This report presents the first comprehensive analysis of appro...

Best Available Techniques (BAT) for Preventing and Controlling Industrial Pollution - Activity 1Best Available techniques (BAT) have emerged as a key policy tool for setting emission limit values and other permit conditions to prevent and control industrial emissions, and thus ensure a high level of human health and environmental protection. This report provides an overview of policies and practic...

To facilitate the use of the mounting evidence on how human health is inextricably linked to the health of the planet and the urgent need for measures against the escalating triple planetary crisis, the WHO has developed a repository of systematic reviews on interventions in the area of environment, climate change and health (ECH). This commentary introduces the repository, describes its rationale...

Open Air Quality Data: The Global Landscape is the only global assessment of whether and how national governments are producing and sharing air quality data with the public.OpenAQ—an NGO that hosts the world’s largest opensource, open-access database of real-time and historical outdoor air quality measurements—analyzed countries across the world to determine which have government-level air quality...
