Rationale: using efficient systems minimizes hazardous materials on site (CFC) and subsequent pollution from them. Energy efficient systems produce less pollution in the form of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants that affect public health.
Rationale: Energy efficient systems produce less pollution in the form of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants that affect public health.
Rationale: bio-diesel produces less air pollutants than regular diesel including the elimination of many carcinogens.
Rationale: ethylene oxide is a carcinogen presenting an occupational hazard to employees and requiring monitoring. Ethylene oxide released to the outside air contributes to air pollution.
Rationale: Incineration creates air pollution such as dioxins, acid gases (such as hydrogen chloride), carbon monoxide, heavy metals. Air pollution is deleterious to community health.
Rationale: use of hazardous materials and toxic substances is reduced and documented
