A strategic framework to determine the best practicable environmental option (BPEO) for proposed transport schemes
Article Abstract:
Scientists have developed a framework which decision-makers can use to examine the environmental implications of UK transport plans. The framework enables users to consider the social impact along with environmental issues which include air quality, water systems and natural habitats. Decision-makers can use it to assess alternative plans to identify the best practicable environmental option. The framework incorporates a step-by-step guide to appraisal and is simple to use, producing results which present the alternatives in a clear fashion.

A case study of an institutional solid waste environmental management system
Article Abstract:
An evaluation of the institutional solid waste environmental management system (SW-EMS) developed and implemented at the Whiteshell Laboratories of Atomic Energy Canada Ltd in Pinawa, Canada is provided. It has been found that the success of SW-EMS can be attributed to the involvement of all of the stakeholders during the initial waste audit. However, the auditing technique used did not allow for easy comparability to other institutions due to site specificity.
