Plan de manejo ambiental de desechos producidos en el laboratorio de análisis y evaluación ambiental AQLAB

Abstract

The environmental management plan of was carried out from analysis laboratory and environmental assessment AQLAB; it is located in Orellana province, and with its application reduces the environmental impacts of the laboratory. The activities analysis, characteristics from solid and liquid waste, the cause-effect matrix of environmental and the areas of direct and indirect influence were that make up the environmental management plan, (EMP). The activities developed were reported to the laboratory workers in order to collect data during the study. The waste description was to divide in different plastic containers according to their characteristics and controlling their weight or volume. Analysis of liquid discharges to the sewer system was based in the table 4a from the RAOHE 1215 standard in Ecuadorian law. The cause-Effect matrix was developed according to Clark method. The result shows that the production of solid waste is the main problem of the laboratory producing a total with 20.73% of paper, glass with 12.13%, and plastic 11.2%. The liquid discharges do not have any effect due to reuse of different waste liquids. It conclude with the design of the environmental management plan taking into account the main impact factor (Solid waste) from laboratory with their programs in order to reduce these impacts. So, it is recommended to appliance the environmental management plan and obtains the environmental license for the purpose the laboratory fulfill with environmental legislation in our country.
