摘要

Designed and built by the team of M2 Technologies, Kansas State University, and CABEM Technologies as members of the National Environmental Evaluation and Remediation Consortium (NEER), the Environmental Knowledge and Assessment Tool (EKAT) is a Web-based research, project management, decision-support tool to identify, research, and evaluate environmental and pollution prevention options, and safety-related issues for products and systems. Originally a concept of the Marine Corps System Command (MARCORSYSCOM) in order to better integrate their environmental requirements into their systems acquisition program, the tool's design also makes it useful to other federal and state agencies, communities, industry and small businesses.rnEKAT presents basic information on technical and regulatory requirements and serves as a resource center linking to other references, tools, and databases to assist in research efforts to minimize any unintentional safety and environmental effects associated with product use. One of the most beneficial aspects of EKAT is its ability to serve as a preliminary environmental screening tool for regulatory requirements and potential issues of concern. EKAT gives the'user the ability to quickly screen chemicals against several lists of fedrally regulated chemicals and against lists of chemicals with known toxicity. Screening against lists of state-regulated chemicals is also possible for a limited number of states. The user may estimate emissions from equipment or processes using the EKAT emissions calculator, which relies on EPA approved emission facors. A NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) decision tree allows the user to consider and document NEPA-related decisions. Information resource pages and guidance documents in EKAT provide the user with additional environmental information in an easy to read format.
