Mandatory for companies with stationary emission sources (boiler houses, chimneys, ventilation outlets). The project determines, by mathematical calculations, the permissible emission levels of pollutants ensuring compliance with air quality standards in the surrounding area and serves as part of the application for a polluting activity permit.
To be developed for facilities where hazardous substances (chemicals, petroleum products, gas) are stored or used. The documents shall ensure a systematic approach to the identification, prevention and preparedness of accident risks, protecting workers, the surrounding population and the environment.
