Incorporating cleaner production analysis into environmental impact assessment in china

摘要

An environmental impact assessment (EIA) system was established in 1979 in China. Although EIA was designed as a tool for pollution prevention, in Practice it has been based on end-of-pipe (EOP) treatment control since it Was first introduced. This approach has ensured an overwhelming focus by Enterprises on the use of EOP treatment, rather than pollution prevention, to Meet environmental standards, and it has produced a low rate of operation for EOP facilities.
