It provides an overview of a pollution prevention program and discusses the key elements and steps involved in establishing a program. A Pollution Prevention Action Plan Checklist is included as Appendix A to assist organizations with the development and implementation of their pollution prevention programs. Pollution prevention is one component of an Environmental Management System (EMS) that can help organizations address many of the needs identified by CSA Guideline Z750. This relationship is schematically presented in Figure 1. Each market sector will encounter sector-specific issues tha t may act as barriers or opportunities for pollution prevention.
