The process outlined in this article includes tools that can be used to achieve the efficiencies necessary for effective reengineering. This process can help ensure that management will not just cut out resources and expect the same services performed the same way. Environmental professionals will be able to show in black and white what their objectives are and what will and will not be done as a result of reengineering. 相似文献

A damaged corporate environmental reputation can cost your company business—and may take years to overcome. Building stakeholder trust should be central to every firm's corporate strategy in today's environmentally conscious world. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Proactive corporations have been looking at methods to determine the real costs of doing business, including environmental costs using environmental cost accounting (ECA) methodology. Many companies do not track or measure environmental costs and therefore do not know their true environmental costs. Unfortunately, conventional accounting practices rarely tease out environmental costs, and the costs associated with environmental compliance remain hidden in general overhead accounts. ECA can bring the world of business and the environment closer. When we have a better handle on environmental costs, we can use this information to better prioritize environmental projects, identify cost improvement projects, and allocate environmental costs to products. In this article we explore how some companies approach ECA and show how to initiate an ECA program. 相似文献

A suite of tests was conducted to evaluate and identify the cause or causes of toxicity in Passaic River sediments. Sediment toxicity was measured with three types of bioassays: a whole sediment bioassay with the marine amphipod, Ampelisca abdita, and interstitial water bioassays with A. abdita and the bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fisheri (Microtox((R))). In addition, a Phase I Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) was conducted to elucidate the cause of observed toxicity. Analytical concentrations of selected residues in whole sediment and interstitial water from the five sampling stations were considered in conjunction with the conclusions drawn from the toxicity tests and Phase I TIE results. Finally, a toxic units approach was used to evaluate the predicted toxicity of measured interstitial water residue concentrations. There was a lack of toxic response in the short-term interstitial water bioassays, indicating that oxidants, soluble forms of metals, and dissolved phase neutral organics were not likely toxicants. However, there was significant toxicity indicated by the whole sediment A. abidita bioassays. After 10 days, there was complete or near complete mortality in amphipods exposed to all of the sediment samples tested. Removal of interstitial water toxicity by filtration was common to all four stations that exhibited measurable initial toxicity. The observed toxicity characteristics are consistent with particle associated neutral organics. This conclusion is supported by toxicity removal via filtration, lack of toxicity in the Microtox((R)) assays, and the fact that whole sediments were more toxic than was interstitial water. 相似文献

The lower Passaic River in northern New Jersey (USA) has been heavily industrialized since the mid-nineteenth century and
its shoreline and aquatic habitats degraded or destroyed. Similar to other urban systems, Passaic River sediments, both surface
and buried, historically have contained elevated levels of numerous contaminants that may pose risks to ecological receptors
and humans. Sediments from 15 stations in the lower Passaic River and 3 reference stations in the Mullica River in southern
New Jersey were sampled in 1999 and characterized for chemical contamination, toxicity, and impairment of the benthic community.
The objective of this study was to determine the incidence, degree, and nature of degraded surficial sediments in the area
to support subsequent plans for restoration of the system. Results demonstrated that Passaic River sediments had concentrations
of many organic and inorganic contaminants at levels significantly greater than the reference area and effect-based guidelines.
Sediments were toxic to marine amphipods at 11 stations and the benthic assemblages were impaired relative to the reference
area at all stations. The weight-of-evidence of this sediment quality triad (SQT) assessment indicates that impacts from multiple
contaminants are occurring throughout the lower Passaic River and, that these impacts must be evaluated further and addressed
as part of ongoing restoration initiatives for the river. 相似文献
