Air pollution control
Immissions outline the impacts that the air pollution (apart from noise, light and jolts) have on nature and people. Air hygiene assessments primarily involve the new construction or alteration of technical plants that emit harmful substances and constitute a new immission factor.
We determine harmful emissions based on the system-specific data and limits. We also take into consideration diffuse emissions, e.g. caused by vehicle movements or handling of dusty goods. Here, we use emission factors.
We project the future emission factor using dispersion models. Representative metrological data for the site is included. Various dispersion models are developed and validated, depending on the problem. The most well-known is stipulated in the Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control. We implement the LASAT, MISKAM, and AUSTAL2000 model.
What sets us apart?
- We have experience and a high level of competence in this area based on our assessment activities dating back to the 1980s.
- We offer you professional advice and support when it comes to this issue.
What services do we offer?
Assessments for future air pollution (immission situation) for:
- licensing procedures in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG),
- Planning approval procedures and
- The preparation of development plans, land-use plans, etc.
Assessments for existing air pollution (immission situation) for:
- Neighbourhood complaints concerning commercial plants
- Testing development possibilities in land use planning
- Forming a decision-making basis for further investigations, e.g. for emission peaks
- Court appraisals
What standards and legal regulations form the basis of our work?
The legal basis for calculating and evaluating imissions is formed by the German Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) with the 22nd Federal Imission Control Implementation Ordinance (BImSchV) and the environmental impact assessment law (UVPG>
