Causes of Environmental Problems Increasing Population Greater Consumption of Natural Resources (esp. Fossil Fuels)

Types of Environmental Pollution Air Pollution Noise Pollution Solid Waste

Environmental Engineering System Overview Assess environmental engineering systems, legislation and ethics Assess water treatment components Assess processes of water & wastewater treatment; Evaluate the quality of air and noise pollution; Perform design and analysis of solid waste management planning; Justify an appropriate monitoring and maintenance of water quality management; Interpret environmental design data and fundamentals in relation to health and safety Design and plan the hazardous waste management and treatment technologies

Environmental legislation, regulation and ethics 1.Legislation is related to the prevention, abatement, control of pollution and enhancement of the environment. 2.In Malaysia, any environmental issue have to refer with Environmental Quality Act 1974 (EQA 1974) 3.Industrial activities are required to obtain the following approvals from the Director General of Environmental Quality: EIA reports (for prescribed activities); Site suitability evaluation (for non-prescribed activities); Written permission to construct; Written approval for installation of incinerator, fuel burning equipment and chimney; License to use and occupy (for prescribed premises)

Environmental Quality Act “ This act provides for the prevention, abatement, and control of pollution through licensing, and mandates the conducting of an Environmental Assessment Report for proposed public and private sector projects to determine and prevent or prepare for the environmental consequences of the project. It was brought into effect with the implementation of a subsequent set of specific regulations and laws”

Purpose of EQA Prevention of the pollution Abatement pollution levels Controlling the pollution from continues Prepare for the environmental consequences
