Air is often a significant and easily observed pathway for the transport of pollutants liberated from site activities to the environment, including neighboring communities. Air quality is an important environmental aspect at GNCC Capital, Inc. (“GNCC”) sites and is often closely regulated. In several jurisdictions, in addition to point source emissions standards, ambient air quality standards are increasingly being specified at the site boundaries, recognizing the cumulative effect of point source emissions and fugitive emissions.
In the context of this document, air quality management refers to the management of all contributory sources of degraded ambient air quality, including point source emissions and fugitive emissions.
To ensure that point source and fugitive air emissions are proactively managed in accordance with host country requirements, the Values and Business Principles of GNCC Capital, Inc., and where relevant, community requirements.
