Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Simplified @ GrG

EIA or Environmental Impact Assessment is a subject that deals with the impacts of any project on the environment and all the ecosystems connected with it. There are certain procedures that are standardized which we follow from the beginning of a project before it is sanctioned. The book covers a study of almost all the possible impacts upon the surrounding environment and the efforts to control or mitigate them before the projects commencement or during the development of the project or after its execution. Certain issues surrounding the implementation of projects inducing air or water pollution can be mitigated through certain standardizations for the concentration of pollutants that is allowed in the upper limits. Also the assessment of all the impacts before and after the project are carried out and studied as a whole to reduce the impacts further.
