Good Practice Guide on Assessing Discharges to Air from Industry: Draft for Consultation
June 2006, Ref. ME736
This draft Good Practice Guide on Assessing Discharges to Air from Industry provides guidance on the interpretation of modelling results against the National Environmental Standards for Air Quality. The guide promotes a three-tiered approach in order to separate the simple from the complex and covers all elements of environmental assessment - not just those pollutants included in the Standards. In doing so it provides comprehensive guidance on the methods available for assessing how air quality can impact on both human health and the environment.
Taken together with its sister document, the Good Practice Guide on Assessing Discharges to Air from Land Transport, this guide provides the final link in the information chain on air quality management in New Zealand. The document is published in draft form to provide an opportunity for comment and discussion and workshops to discuss the document were run in August 2006.
