| Abstract: | This article develops a 'pollutant interaction matrix method' allowing the calculation of a global environmental (henceforth as: env-tal.) protection index (Ep) to verify the eco-compatibility of an industrial activity. There are two methods proposed for the (Ep) index evaluation. The methodology (here as: meth.) is applied to evaluate the env-tal. pollution risk of a company producing polymer materials and to improve their env-tal. performance. The results show that the whole productive process has a low env-tal. impact factor. Nevertheless the applied meth. puts in evidence some processes generating local pollution in the factory, possibly dangerous for the workers' health. |
