皇冠体育app Air and Climatic Factors topic covers two main areas, Air Quality and Carbon Footprinting. 皇冠体育app Air Quality topic focuses emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM10) (fine particles) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). 皇冠体育app assessment covers potential effects of Severn Tidal Power Options on local air quality and human health (ie South West and Wales), in addition to national contributions to air quality. 皇冠体育app Carbon Footprinting topic focuses on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), principally carbon dioxide (CO2). 皇冠体育app assessment considers potential changes in GHG emissions, in the UK and globally, as a result of a Severn Tidal Power option being implemented.
皇冠体育app Resources and Waste topic includes sources of construction materials, energy, water and waste management facilities. 皇冠体育app key environmental issues for resources relate to the types and quantities of resources required, the source of those resources, and the effects on the landscape from the use of natural resources and their transportation. Key issues for waste relate to the types and quantities of waste generated, how they would be managed, and where they would be disposed, treated, reused or recycled.
