1- What is emission?
- emission is anything that's been released out into the open. But
more often it refers to Pollution (including noise, heat, and
radiation) discharged into the atmosphere by residential,
commercial, and industrial facilities. Pollution discharged into
water is called effluent.

2- What are the impacts of greenhouse gas on the

environment?
- an increase in the average surface temperature of the earth over
time. Rising temperatures may produce changes in precipitation
patterns, storm severity, and sea level. Collectively, this is
commonly referred to as climate change.

3- Define the emission measurements and its importance?

 Emissions measurements
- Emissions measurement is the process of measuring the amount
of pollutants, in a gaseous or particulate form, being emitted to
the air from a specific source, such as an industrial process.
- Used to understand the relative importance of a given source
compared to other sources and in developing emissions
inventories

4- Explain the EIA and the aim of EIA process?

- EIA can be defined as the study to predict the effect of a
proposed activity/project on
- the environment.
- Compares various alternatives for a project and seeks to identify
the one which

2
- represents the best combination of economic and environmental
costs and benefits.
- It enables the integration of environmental concerns and
mitigation measures in
- project development.
- Prevent future liabilities or expensive alterations in project
design

5- What are the cores of EIA?

- Integrity: the EIA process should be fair, objective, unbiased
and balanced.
- Utility: the EIA process should provide balanced, credible
information for
- decision making.
- Sustainability: the EIA process should result in Environmental
Safeguard

6- The EIA process has a several benefits, explain ?

- Protection of Environment
- Optimum utilization of resources
- Saves overall time and cost of the project
- Promotes community participation
- Informs decision makers
- Lays base for environmentally sound projects

7- What are the steps of EIA?

1. Preliminary Activities and Decision of Terms of Reference (
TOR )
2. Scoping
3. Baseline Study
3
4. Environmental Impact Evaluation
5. Mitigation Measures
6. Assessment of Alternative Measures
7. Preparation of Final Document
8. Decision-making
9. Monitoring of Project Implementation and Its Environmental
Impacts

8- Who are the decision makers? and they have three choices,
mention it?
- Usually the decision is taken by a manager or a committee, or
personnel from the concerned ministry who had not been
associated with the EIA during its preparation. a decision-maker
has three choices:
- Accepting one of the project alternatives
- Returning the EIA with a request for further study in certain
specific areas
- Totally rejecting the proposed project along with alternative
versions.

9- Explain reference document and working document?

1. Reference document (the detailed document): This document is
used by the technical personnel that is associate with the project
2. Working document (the summarized non-technical account): is
usually called as the working document, which is written clearly
without using technical language to communicate to the
decision-maker the findings of the EIA team.
