New standards on pollution limits: <\/strong>Businesses operating in Abu Dhabi will be required to obtain an environmental license from the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi (EAD) and comply with new caps set for noise and air pollution under a new decree issued by EAD Chairman Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, according to the Abu Dhabi Media Office<\/a>. The statement did not clarify when the new requirements will go into effect, nor did it specify the exact limits that businesses will be required to comply with.<\/p>\n

The requirements: <\/strong>The decree mandates environmental licensing for all stationary or mobile projects and establishments operating in Abu Dhabi. Owners must comply with maximum concentration limits for noise and air pollution set by the EAD but can apply for a temporary exemption permit under specific conditions.<\/p>\n

The EAD\u2019s role:<\/strong> The EAD will be responsible for setting standards, monitoring air pollutants, and ensuring compliance with established concentration limits, according to the statement. The agency will also be responsible for conducting awareness workshops on air protection and implementing research projects with research centers and universities to promote the use of environmentally friendly technologies. The agency is also tasked with leveraging modern tech and AI and coordinating with authorities to manage a database of air quality, noise, and emissions, the statement added.<\/p>\n

Another step towards greenifying Abu Dhabi: <\/strong>The emirate rolled out a similar decree last month<\/a> making it mandatory for businesses licensed by the EAD to report their environmental data \u2014 including power usage and emissions \u2014 every year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
