This IAQM webinar delivered by staff from the Environment Agency gives an overview of the development process for the new Environmental Assessment Levels (EALs) for the amines produced by carbon capture technology and the consultation process which follows this development. The Environment Agency uses EALs, in conjunction with the H1 risk assessment process, to judge the acceptability of proposed emissions to air from industrial processes, and their relative contribution to the environment. EALs represent a pollutant concentration in ambient air at which no appreciable risks or minimal risks to human health are expected.
The speakers also cover how these EALs will then be used in the permitting process and in detailed modelling assessments.
