Periodic Monitoring of Atmospheric Emissions
 

Self-monitoring is a requirement stipulated by the AUA or the General Authorization for all companies that produce atmospheric emissions. It consists of a series of activities that the facility operator must have performed periodically to verify compliance with the emission limits set forth by regulations. Self-monitoring is typically conducted annually or biennially.

Self-monitoring activities include:
  • Physical characterization of emissions (temperature and flow rate);
  • Sampling of emitted pollutants;
  • Laboratory analysis of the samples;
  • Evaluation of analytical results;
  • Issuance of the test report.
In some cases, the measurement results must be recorded in a dedicated emissions log.

Our laboratory offers a comprehensive service for self-monitoring of atmospheric emissions at affordable prices, using official methods in accordance with current environmental regulations.

 
AUA (Single Environmental Authorization)
 

This is an administrative measure introduced by Presidential Decree No. 59 of 2013, which transposed Directive 2008/1/EC on integrated pollution prevention and control. The AUA is issued by the SUAP (One-Stop Shop for Productive Activities) to any entity intending to carry out one of the activities subject to the AUA. The AUA application must be submitted to the SUAP at least 60 days before the start of operations.

Activities subject to the AUA are those that may have a significant impact on the environment, in particular:
  • industrial activities
  • Energy production and distribution activities
  • Waste treatment and disposal activities
  • Wastewater treatment activities
  • Processing and storage of hazardous substances

The AUA contains the requirements and limits necessary to ensure the environmental compatibility of the activity, covering atmospheric emissions (stacks), wastewater (discharges), stormwater runoff (AMD), waste, safety, and the use of natural resources.
