点源基于地表水质排放限值制度设计

针对我国点源排放标准不能确保具体点源所排入的水体地表水质达标的问题,借鉴美国点源基于地表水质排放限值的规则和方法的经验,论证我国建立点源基于地表水质排放限值的必要性,提出点源基于地表水质排放限值的制度框架,并提出政策建议：在法规中补充点源基于地表水质排放限值的相关要求;明确点源排污许可证的制定必须要计算点源基于地表水质的排放限值,并采取与已有的排放标准中严者作为点源的排放限值;授权省级政府制定混合区划定法规.     

我国挥发性有机液体储库VOCs排放标准现状分析

针对地方政府、VOL（挥发性有机液体）储库和治理企业进行VOCs（挥发性有机物）治理时面临排放标准选择困惑的现状,根据地方行业性标准>国家行业性标准>地方综合标准>国家综合标准的标准选择顺序,对我国部分地区（北京市、上海市、厦门市、重庆市）现行的相关排放标准进行分析.结果表明:①对于汽油储库,全国均执行GB 20950—2007《储油库大气污染物排放标准》（北京市除外）;②对于原油及成品油（汽油除外）储库,各地区优先执行本地区《工业企业挥发性有机物排放控制标准》,其次是本地区《大气污染物综合排放标准》,最后是国家的GB 16297—1996《大气污染物综合排放标准》,北京市、上海市、厦门市和重庆市《大气污染物综合排放标准》中NMHC（非甲烷总烃）最高允许排放质量浓度分别是GB 16297—1996标准限值的42%、58%、83%和100%;③工业企业VOCs排放标准或大气污染物综合排放标准的NHMC最高允许排放质量浓度约为GB 20950—2007标准限值的3‰,因此准确选择排放标准显得尤为重要.研究显示,生态环境部应尽快修订GB 20950—2007,将适用范围扩大为原油及成品油或VOL储库,并适度加严标准限值,推动行业有序发展.      

Developing a theory of change for a community‐based response to illegal wildlife trade

The escalating illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the most high‐profile conservation challenges today. The crisis has attracted over US$350 million in donor and government funding in recent years, primarily directed at increased enforcement. There is growing recognition among practitioners and policy makers of the need to engage rural communities that neighbor or live with wildlife as key partners in tackling IWT. However, a framework to guide such community engagement is lacking. We developed a theory of change (ToC) to guide policy makers, donors, and practitioners in partnering with communities to combat IWT. We identified 4 pathways for community‐level actions: strengthen disincentives for illegal behavior, increase incentives for wildlife stewardship, decrease costs of living with wildlife, and support livelihoods that are not related to wildlife. To succeed the pathways, all require strengthening of enabling conditions, including capacity building, and of governance. Our ToC serves to guide actions to tackle IWT and to inform the evaluation of policies. Moreover, it can be used to foster dialogue among IWT stakeholders, from local communities to governments and international donors, to develop a more effective, holistic, and sustainable community‐based response to the IWT crisis.     

CEN Standards for Testing and Certifying Personal Protective Equipment—Status Quo and Deficiencies: Examples

By establishing the internal market, the European Union intended to create an area in which safety and health at work are guaranteed. For this purpose, a series of directives was passed.

The EC Directive 89/686/EEC “Approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to personal protective equipment” is of particular interest to the manufacturers of personal protective equipment (PPE). On the European level, harmonized standards, that put these basic health and safety requirements into more concrete terms have to be available. The European Standardizing Committee (CEN) is charged with the elaboration of European standards.

A total of 176 standards relating to personal protective equipment have to be setup; 57 of them are available at present. All CEN members are obliged to transpose them without modification into national standards. Formerly existing national standards have to be withdrawn.

Existing European standards sometimes show deficiencies regarding the specification of requirements according to Directive 89/686/EEC: the standardization of PPE for special fields of application and insufficient harmonization of provisions for different PPE serving the same protective purpose. Test methods are not always described precisely enough.

Viability of using global standards for neighbourhood sustainability assessment: insights from a comparative case study

Neighbourhoods are increasingly gaining attention as planning units of great potential for contribution to sustainable development. Many assessment tools such as LEED-ND, BREEAM Communities and CASBEE-UD have been developed to examine the sustainability of neighbourhood development projects. Some of these tools are claimed to be suitable for assessment in different contexts, and LEED-ND has already been utilised in various countries. This study investigates the viability of using global standards through a series of comparative case studies. One certified case from each of the aforementioned tools is chosen and evaluated against its non-corresponding assessment tools. Selected cases are, respectively, Hoyt Yards, MediaCityUK and Koshigaya Lake Town. Results of this study provide evidence that casts doubt on the viability of using global standards. The paper concludes that neighbourhood sustainability assessment should be regarded as a pluralistic practice. This implies that any realistic and reliable assessment should take account of the specificities of specific locations and varying needs of different stakeholders.

Design and demonstration of a next-generation air quality attainment assessment system for PM2.5 and O3

Due to the increasingly stringent standards, it is important to assess whether the proposed emission reduction will result in ambient concentrations that meet the standards. The Software for Model Attainment Test—Community Edition (SMAT-CE) is developed for demonstrating attainment of air quality standards of O₃ and PM_2.5. SMAT-CE improves computational efficiency and provides a number of advanced visualization and analytical functionalities on an integrated GIS platform. SMAT-CE incorporates historical measurements of air quality parameters and simulated air pollutant concentrations under a number of emission inventory scenarios to project the level of compliance to air quality standards in a targeted future year. An application case study of the software based on the U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) shows that SMAT-CE is capable of demonstrating the air quality attainment of annual PM_2.5 and 8-hour O₃ for a proposed emission control policy.
