IAQM WEBINAR - ENVIRONMENT AGENCY AIR EMISSIONS RISK ASSESSMENT EAL UPDATES

	31/01/2022
When:	Monday, January 31, 2022 12:30pm to 1:15pm
Where:	Online United Kingdom

Environmental Assessment Levels (EALs) are used by the Environment Agency (EA) to judge the acceptability of proposed emissions to air from industrial sites, and their relative contribution to the environment. EALs represent a pollutant concentration in ambient air at which no significant risks to human health are expected. In 2012, the EA ran a consultation to identify a new hierarchy for the derivation of EALs.

Using their revised methodology and working with Public Health England (now UK Health Security Agency), the EA reviewed and published revisions to the EALs for 10 existing substances and introduce EALs for two new substances in September 2021. In the second phase, they are currently running a project reviewing EALs for a further 10 substances and prioritising the remaining substance EALs for further review.

This webinar will explore the updates to the EALs and next steps.
