what is environmental aspect and impact?
To answer your question, here is a citation from the book "Industrial Health, Safety and Environmental Management" by Constantin Stephan (page 53/54):
"Environmental aspects are inherent in a company’s activities, whereas environmental impacts are caused in the environment and reflect deterioration and pollution. [Comment: positive environmental impacts may also result from a company's interaction with the environment but are less frequent.] A specific environmental impact can be local or global and is the result of many companies’ activities, with different aspects usually contributing. A company can measure and quantify its environmental aspects, whereas environmental impacts are monitored by governmental agencies or NGOs.
| Environmental aspects | Associated environmental impacts |
|---|---|
| Emission of CO2 and CH4 | Global warming |
| Emission of SOx and NOx | Acid rain, ground acidification |
| Emission of CFCs | Ozone depletion |
| Emission of VOCs | Summer smog |
| Nitrogen, phosphate in waste water | Water eutrophication |
| Risk of chemicals spillages | Ground and water pollution |
| Water and energy consumption | Resource depletion |
