ASP · Environmental Management
A pollution prevention (P2) program focuses on what?
Explanation
Pollution prevention (P2) focuses on reducing or eliminating pollution and waste at the source - through process changes, input substitution, and efficiency - rather than controlling, treating, or disposing of it after generation. It is not end-of-pipe treatment, dilution to mask concentration, or cross-media transfer. Source reduction of pollution defines P2. (Ref: pollution prevention.)Practise more questions like this
