Conducting EIA and Hazardous Waste Management | Ecology

After reading this article you will learn about conducting EIA and hazardous waste management. Conducting EIA: EIA serves as a valuable tool for identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts due to the proposed TSDF at a particular site. It evaluates the potential impacts, both beneficial and adverse, of the project i.e., TSDF on the environmental system. There are different methodologies [...]
