Environmental Impact Assessment
What is Environmental Impact Assessment?
After completing biodegradation and disintegration tests, this process evaluates the environmental impact of any residual materials. It measures the effect of remaining residues on the germination and early growth of seedlings from two higher plant species, determining the environmental suitability of the material.
