## ENVIRONMENTAL METRICS

**Have a management process, within the “territory”, for selecting issues and using the results**
**Involve a broad range of stakeholders**
**Pick issues, and develop metrics with care**
**Use for continuous improvement and strategic decisions**

**Notes:**
How would you measure those issues.  Important to recognize that some will be highly quantitative and others will be highly qualitative.  For display purposes even the highly qualitative can be converted into a pseudo quantitative scale. 

## ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS

_**ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS**_

**Few, easily understood and accepted**
**Preferably, built from existing data systems**
**Good for the environment, society and business**
**Drive continuous improvement, now**
**Compatible with the evolving             definition of  “sustainable”**

**Notes:**
Decide on the level of accuracy needed.  Be careful of the temptation to push that too far resulting in unacceptable expense and loss of sponsorship.

## MEASURING

_**MEASURING**_

_**Within**_** an issue**
** ****Such as acid rain or global warming**
** ****Accuracy sufficient to be credible **
** ****Cost effective accuracy a/o verification ****	****	****	****(strategic, engineering, accounting, etc.)**
** ****Identify and combine where appropriate**
** ****Express in equivalents (e.g. mass of CO2)**
** ****ICI has a superb example**
**    **

**Notes:**
Decide to what extent you wish to combine metrics driving toward a single score or not.

## MEASURING

_**MEASURING**_

**Adding up **_**across**_** the issues**
** ****Dow has a leading example**
** ****No broadly accepted basis for issue ****	****	****selection, scoring of the issues, or relative ****	****weight of the issues**
** ****Is a single score worth the effort?**
** ****Identify the major contributors and ****	****	****continuously improve them**
**    **

## TOXIC DISPERSION

**Mass, Persistence, Bioaccumulation, & Exposure**
**Comparable with external systems**
**Used for continuous improvement and R&D planning**
**Broadly accepted toxicity scale lacking but there is considerable emerging work**

## Slide 19

## MIKE’s 17 QUESTIONS

**Effective process for selection of issues and use of results, involving multiple stakeholders**
**Acceptance of the concern and the need for action**
**An assessment of the present situation, the trend, and **_**all**_** sources for a targeted pollutant**
**Valid, science based, peer reviewed, broadly accepted models**
**Quality data and sufficient experimental capability**
**Apply to NOx, ozone, PM fine,                      mercury, smog and a material                                 not yet identified**

## MIKE’s 17 QUESTIONS

**MY THREE FAVORITES**
**Is there a role for strategic partnerships between ****	****	****industry and government in atmospheric science?**
** ****Is there a need for industrial atmospheric   ****	****	****	****performance metrics?**
** ****Are there environmental fates requirements for key ****	****	****chemicals, and if so, what are the                             ****	****leading candidates?**

## CHALLENGES ANDOPPORTUNITIES

**Where does air quality fit within our Nation’s needs?**
**Are we looking at the right air quality issues?**
**Where are the grandchildren of the Ames test including persistence and bioaccumulation as well as multiple end-point toxicity?**
**What constitutes zero?**
