Three-Day Residential Training Programme on Environmental Impact Assessment for Air Polluting Industries

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an important tool for assessing impacts of an upcoming/expansion project and providing measures to minimize those impacts. EIA has always been considered as a mere regulatory requirement, however, what has been overlooked is the fact that a good EIA study can actually prove to be beneficial to the developer in terms of cleaner production, no regulatory hassle, resource conservation and good rapport with local community.

Industrial air pollution has become a global issue of discussion especially with so many source apportionment studies highlighting contribution of large and small scale industries to growing air pollution in the cities. EIA needs to be utilized to ensure that air pollution load from industries are addressed significantly during project designing and planning phase and measures are incorporated in Environmental management plans.

Considering this need, CSE is conducting a 3-day residential training programme at its training centre(AAETI) at Alwar.
