Environmental status

Soils are complex materials, containing components of mixed origins with differing physical, chemical and biological properties. The form and concentrations of C and S in soils are important indicators of the environmental status of soils, their agricultural potential and their ability to filter and buffer contaminants (Nuwer Keil 2005 Rawlins etal. 2008 Sylvia etal. 2005). 

Some form of nonbinding value, often to form die basis for comparative assessments of environmental status, such as between locations or over time.

The fundamental task of a CER is to provide an environmental bill of health for a company, in the same way that the annual report provides a financial bill of health. It covers the provision of environmental information by management for the use of multiple stakeholder groups on the environmental status and performance of a company. 

A comprehensive review [1] summarizes the environmental status of processes using catalytic conversion in water, and - more especially - several very recent comments highlight the main environmental features of Ruhrchemie/Rhone-Pou-lenc s (RCH/RP s) novel oxo process as a prototype of an aqueous biphasic technique [2]. Based on two-phase catalysis with water-soluble catalysts, this has now been used successfully for almost 20 years [3], Astonishingly, in the early days of academic research (following far behind the industrial utilization cf. Section 1) the importance of water as a liquid support of the thus immobilized homogeneous catalysts was underestimated and not undisputed. 

Clearly, the ultimate goal is the same for everybody, whether it is clean and healthy seas or a good environmental status . Future developments should therefore not only focus on the harmonisation of the existing programmes but also on their shortcomings.

These new mode-rich systems increase the need for and difficulty of maintaining mode awareness, which can be defined in STAMP terms as keeping the controlled-system operating mode in the controller s process model consistent with the actual controlled system mode. A large number of modes challenges human ability to maintain awareness of active modes, armed modes, interactions between environmental status and mode behavior, and interactions across modes. It also increases the difficulty of error or failure detection and recovery.

Since land use inevitably involves different development of particular areas, some type of land classification constitutes the basis on which land-use planning is carried out. However, land should also be graded according to its potential uses and capabilities. In other words, indices are required to assess the environmental status of natural resources and their potential.

The Environmental Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) has been standardised for the follow-up of environmental strategies, and as a tool in a company s commitment to continous improvement of the achieved environmental status by using Best Available Technologies (BAT). 

The site audit covers the environmental status of a site and examines the contributions made to any environmental change. 

The site audit enables the environmental status of a site being used for the destruction of chemical weapons to be monitored. It can also be used once the destruction has been successfully completed, to help restore the site for other uses, and, when appropriate, to enable solutions for its restoration to be recommended.
