The Clean Air Act initially aimed at dirty air that plagued many cities. The law added provisions about the effects of sources of pollution. The law established quantity limits for the release of common industrial air contaminants. Amendments required stricter control over 189 air toxins based on 350 different categories. Participants leave this course with the most updated information available for the clean air regulations they have to face. Water Safety Plan takes an effective process control rather than end product control in water system as the principal means of ensuring water safety. Control of risks through preventive operation and maintenance with simple and consistent monitoring that allow problems to be detected early and for remedial action to be taken immediately. Therefore, WSP needs to be implemented in all water systems for ensuring safe water delivery and thus to reduce incidence of water borne diseases.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Recognize the requirements of the Clean Air Act and the regulatory authority of the EPA
• Determine the major EPA regulations concerning air, water and soil pollution
• Understand the hazards that causes water unsafe
• Identify control measures existing or planned that prevents hazards to ingress into the system and to control the process through operational monitoring
• Assess sanitary and microbial risk of the water supply system through carrying out sanitary survey
• Enhance the knowledge and skills of the professionals for better management of both asset and safety of the water supply system
•  

This course is intended for environmental professionals who are responsible for the proper implementation and monitoring of their facilities/site compliance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
