After owning sufficient data, decide to treat such microorganism or toxin in the fourth-grade or inferior laboratories.


-10-

According to project analysis, the project laboratory will only carry out pesticide,

fertilizer residue, origin environment monitoring, and irrigation water inspection and so

on of agricultural products (foodstuff, vegetable, fruit etc.); the microorganism

laboratory only carries out common microorganism experiments. Therefore, under

common condition, the microorganisms are the ones without pathogenic effect known

to healthy adults. So, the physical and chemical laboratories in this project are common

laboratories, and common microorganism laboratory is BSL1 first-grade bio-safety

protection laboratory.

2 Main Environmental Impact and Mitigation Measures

2.1 Existing Pollutant Emission and Pollutant Prevention and

Control Measures Analysis

(1) Exhaust gas

Only part of Tonghua City Agricultural Products Quality and Safety Inspection Center

Laboratories have ventilation equipments, the rest of them without ventilation

equipments are ventilated naturally. During experiment process, opening window for

ventilation from time to time not only affects the accuracy of experiment data but also

has certain effect on experimenters and surrounding residential areas.

There is no dinning hall at present, and it adopts central heating.

(2) Waste water

The existing waste water from experiment and domestic sewage is directly drained into

downcast pipe network of city planning. There are 12 employees in the institute at

present, and quantity of domestic wastewater effluent is 0.5m3/d. At present, the

laboratory only determines heavy metal residual quantity and surplus; there are regular

and entrusted inspections; waste water from experiment without discharge rule belongs

to intermittent discharge; daily wastewater discharge is about 0.5m#/d; there are

acid-base waste water, heavy metal and organic reagent and so on; there is no separate

treatment measures and facilities; the waste water shall be drained into urban sewerage

and drainage pipe network.

Waste water from the laboratory is less but the water quality is relatively complex,


-11-

over-proof discharge hazardness is great. During the reconstruction, make production

sewage and domestic sewage diffluent, and drain the waste water from laboratory after

reaching the standard.

(3) Noise

According to the monitoring results of Tonghua City Environment Monitoring Center

Station, all noises within the boundary of an industrial enterprise reach second-class

standard, which have less effect on surrounding acoustical environment.

2.2 Environmental Impact Assessment Analysis

2.2.1 Environmental Impact Analysis during Construction Period

(1) Ambient air impact analysis

The project is the project of technological transformation. Main construction contents

are indoor operation and purchasing installation equipments. During the construction

period, environmental impact is relatively less. During the period of indoor decoration,

when loading and unloading bulk powder (granular) materials, preparing feed and

transporting bulk building materials by carrying vehicles, if they are over-loaded or

without preventive measures, materials shall hang down in transit and produce dust.

Engineering transportation and construction machines may cause certain impact on

atmospheric environment quality of local area; with the closing of the construction

period, these impacts will disappear.

(2) Environmental impact analysis of surface water

The project employs local construction team to carry out the construction; there is not

camp building; the washroom of Agricultural Products Quality and Safety Inspection

Center is still in use; domestic sewage is drained into drainpipe network of city planning,

which has less effect on water environment.

(3) Construction noise

The project is the project of technological transformation. During the construction

period, machines such as electric drill, sawing machine and so on used during indoor

decoration will inevitably cause construction noise, but they are all indoor operations;

arranging construction time reasonably and operating with windows closed will reduce


-12-

impact on external environment. With the closing of construction period, these impacts

will disappear.

(4) Solid waste

Indoor decoration of the project during construction period will create less construction

waste, and the builders will create some domestic garbage, the garbage will become

breeding ground for mosquitoes and flies if not treated in time and produce foul smell

and cause effect on the surrounding environment.

In order to avoid the effect of solid waste on the environment, the construction waste

created during the construction period shall be removed in time and piled up in places

designated by municipal departments or used as materials of road construction; special

domestic garbage box shall be set at the construction site to uniformly collect domestic

garbage and carry them to urban garbage landfill to prevent casual throwing-away.

Reasonable treatment can eliminate disadvantageous effect of solid waste on external

environment.

2.2.2 Environmental Impact Analysis during Operation Period

(1) Exhaust gas

Exhaust gases from this project mainly indicate a small quantity of acid mist, NO2 and a

small amount of exhaust gas of organic solvent discharged by organic solvent created

by carrying out inspection experiment, which shall be discharged after reaching the

standard.

Some laboratories creating exhaust gas are arranged with exhaust hood during the

transformation. Exhaust gas negative pressure from experiment shall be collected and

discharged through purifying treatment with high-efficiency filter.

Heat supply source during heating period of this project is central heating. The project

itself has no boiler house, chimney, or fume emission. There is no dinning hall for

employees or oil fume emission.

(2) Waste water

Waste water discharged outside of this project mainly comes from laboratory and

employees’ daily life.


-13-

After the completion of this project, total waste water discharge will be 3.5m3/d; the

experiment and inspection waste water discharge is 3m3/d and domestic sewage

discharge is 0.5m3/d. The domestic sewage and production sewage will be diffluent

during the transformation.

Each pollutant emission concentration in domestic sewage is COD250mg/L,

BOD200mg/L, SS200mg/L; the water quality can reach the tertiary standard in

GB8978-1996 Integrated Discharge Standard for Sewage, which can be drained

directly into urban sewerage and drainage pipe network. Main pollutants of experiment

waste water discharged during assay and inspection are acid-base, heavy metal and

various chemical reagents, various additives and so on; the waste water from the

laboratory is less in discharge, but the contents are complex; through analogy

investigation, pollutant emission concentration in waste water from experiment is about

COD600mg/L, BOD5400mg/L, SS210mg/L, and it contains heavy metal of different

degree. Direct emission without treatment will cause negative effect on surface water

body, and it shall be drained into urban sewerage and drainage pipe network after

reaching the tertiary standard in GB8978-1996 Integrated Discharge Standard for

Sewage.

Tonghua City Urban Sewage Disposal Plant under construction is planned to be

completed and put into operation at the close of 2009, and the project commissioning

date is 2011; therefore, the waste water discharged when the project is completed and

put into operation can be directly drained into urban sewerage and drainage pipe

network and treated by urban sewage disposal plant, which has less impact on water

environment.

(3) Noise

Noises of this project are mainly from multi-functional oscillator of the laboratory,

air-conditioner, and ventilation installation blower and so on in the laboratory. Noise

source intensity is about 75-90dB. Therefore, these equipments should be set indoors

and also build sound insulation room, install sound insulation board on walls, and add

cushion blocking when installing equipments to make noise within the boundary of an

industrial enterprise reach second-class standard.


-14-

(4) Solid waste

After the completion of this project, main solid wastes will be domestic garbage and

solid waste from laboratory and so on.

① Waste agricultural product (vegetable, fruit, foodstuff etc.), animal husbandry

product and aquatic product samples

When carrying out experiment of the project, take 0.5-1kg or so experimental sample

according to different experiment requirements, draw a sample at random when doing

experiment for inspection, and store one sample in sample retained room. Samples

stored in the sample retained room for agricultural products are generally kept for 3-6

months or so and destroyed together when they expiry. According to analogy estimation,

waste sample quantity is about 1.2t/a. Waste agricultural product (animal husbandry

product, aquatic product) samples belong to common solid waste and they will be sent

to urban garbage disposal plant with domestic garbage for treatment.

② Experimental equipments and apparatuses (one-off), waste liquid and waste culture

medium from experiment

After the completion of this project, production quantity of one-off experimental

equipments and apparatuses, consumables (test paper etc.) and damaged apparatuses

(glass ware) used in experiment is about 11kg/a; the production quantity of waste liquid

and waste culture medium from experiment is about 41.8kg/a. Experimental equipments

and apparatuses (one-off) and waste liquid created by experiment are hazardous wastes,

which shall be uniformly sent to Changchun City Lantian Hazardous Wastes Disposal

Center Co., Ltd. for disposal.

③ Replaced waste filtering material or active carbon of filter

In order to guarantee the efficiency of high-efficiency particle air filter, waste filtering

material or waste active carbon board of filter shall be replaced after 6 months or so,

and the production quantity is about 0.2t/a; the replaced waste filtering material or

waste active carbon board shall be sent back to original producing unit or Changchun

City Lantian Hazardous Wastes Disposal Center Co., Ltd. for burning treatment.

④ Sewage sludge created by sewage treatment

Production quantity of sewage sludge from sewage disposal plant is about 75kg/a. The


-15-

heavy metal in the sewage sludge created is hazardous waste, which shall be stored

perfectly and sent to Changchun City Lantian Hazardous Wastes Disposal Center Co.,

Ltd. for treatment.

⑥ Domestic garbage

According to the calculation of 0.5kg per person every day, daily production quantity

will be 8.5kg/d, and annual production quantity will be 2.1t/a; therefore, the

environmental sanitation department will uniformly recycle and send them to urban

garbage landfill for sanitary landfill.

According to National Hazardous Waste Category (2008), solid wastes created by this

project contain common solid waste and hazardous waste. Mismanagement will cause

hazardous effect on the surrounding environment; different disposal modes should be

adopted according to different natures; common solid wastes and hazardous wastes can

not be disposed by blending. Reasonable disposal will prevent secondary pollution due

to mismanagement of hazardous wastes.

2.3.3 Environmental Impact Mitigation Measures during Operation

Period

2.3.3.1 Ambient Air Impact Mitigation Measures

Work nature of laboratory, inspection room not only makes higher request for indoor

temperature and humidity, but different requirements and standards for cleanness of air.

In order to guarantee indoor temperature, humidity and cleanness of air for experiment

and inspection work, the transformation will follow up relevant requirements in

Building Technology Specifications for Bio-safety Laboratory GB50346-2004 to set

exhaustion device and install high-efficiency filter.

(1) Ventilation, exhaustion system optimization operating criteria

1) There will be gas and particle harmful to human health when doing chemical

experiments. In order to guarantee personnel health, harmful gas and particle must be

cleared away effectively and in time, and the laboratory should ensure certain negative

pressure;

2) There is good air distribution in laboratory, air velocity and turbulence scale of blast

air and return air can be controlled within smaller range. Ventilation rate in laboratory

can be controlled effectively, and the air in laboratory should be substituted completely

to make sure freshness.

(2) Ventilation and exhaustion system in laboratory

Forced exhaustion system: all experiments in laboratory directly creating toxic and

harmful gas must be done in fume hood. Forced fume hood is set in laboratory and

inspection room where toxic and harmful gas is created; waste gas created by negative

pressure collection during experiment and inspection shall be discharged outside after

treatment with high-efficiency particle air filter (active carbon filter). The filtration

efficiency of high-efficiency particle air filter is not lower than that of category B

(efficiency is not lower than 99.97%).

Ventilation system: mechanical smoke extraction ventilation systems are set in corridor,

stair case, and washroom and so on, which can remove contaminated air at any time.

Mechanical ventilation systems are set in local laboratories and inspection rooms to


-19-

solve indoor ventilation problems without experiments and inspection work.

(2) Height of exhaust funnel

Height of exhaust funnel of various exhaustion systems is 3m higher than that of

building roof.

(3) Risk prevention measures

If air cleaning system meets with an accident or the contaminated area is under positive

pressure, the alarm will work at once, so experiment should be stopped and start

emergency programs.

Strict safety responsibility system should be established in laboratory.

2.3.3.2 Water Environmental Impact Mitigation Measures

Drainage system should be cleaned up and diffluent; establish separate pipeline for

domestic sewage and production sewage. Quantity of domestic wastewater effluent is

less; the concentration of COD in waste water is 250mg/L, BOD5150mg/L or so;

effluent concentration can reach the tertiary discharge standard of Integrated Discharge

Standard for Sewage (GB8978-1996); therefore, the domestic sewage can be drained

into drainpipe network without treatment.

Waste water from the laboratory is less in discharge, but the contents are complex; there

is acid, base, organic and micro heavy metal, which has greater hazardness and be

drained after treatment.

(1) Designed water quantity and water quality of sewage disposal plant

Production quantity of waste water of inspection experiment is about 3m3/d. It is

proposed to establish sewage disposal plant with design capacity of 5m3/d. In

consideration of possible malfunction and accident discharge in sewage disposal plant,

it is proposed to establish a set of 10m3 reservoir for regulation and water storage of

accident discharge and intermittent discharge of waste water.

(2) Treatment programs for production waste water

Aiming at water quality, water quantity and discharge requirements of waste water,

integrating recommendation of researchable plans, the environmental assessment will

analyze and contrast technical economy and operation effect of the following several


-20-

sewage disposal programs.

Program one: biochemical process (H/O)

Biochemical process is sewage biochemical treatment method widely adopted, which is

suitable to treat dispose organic waste water of high concentration; it covers smaller

area and runs steadily; it is easy to operate, resistant to impact and it has strong carrying

capacity.

Please refer to figure 2.3-1 for its technical process.

Program two: whole-set small-scale integrated laboratory sewage disposal equipment

The waste water discharge of this project is less, which can be directly disposed with

whole-set equipment. At present, there are many sewage disposal plants manufacturing

“laboratory series waste water processing machine” in China. This series of waste water

processing machines mainly adopt technologies such as neutralizing and coagulating

and precipitation, active carbon catalyze-ozone oxidation, biological active carbon

absorption and so on, which cover smaller area, with higher automation degree, better

processing effect, less running cost and so on; unattended operation basically can be

realized. The machine gains scientific and technological achievements appraisal

No. 287); it is inspected and demonstrated by authoritative organizations such as

Chinese Academy of Sciences Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry ; processing effect

can completely satisfy national relevant discharge standard; it gets better effect in

practical application in Guangzhou University, Guangzhou Medical College,

Chongqing City Environmental Monitoring Center, Zhongshan Medicine Inspection

Institute, and Yuexiu Diseases Control Center and so on.

1) Technical process and principle

Waste water initially is drained into regulating tank through collecting system for

regulating water quality and water quantity, and then driven into sewage processing

machine reaction tank by pump evenly and constantly, and passes pH controller; add

certain quantity of NaOH aqueous solution with metering pump and regulate pH value

between 8～9, and add coagulant PAC and coagulant acid PAM.

Under alkaline conditions, acid in waste water is neutralized; ions of heavy metals such

as iron, cadmium, copper, manganses, nickel, and lead and so on will react with OH-

chemically to create hydroxide precipitate; meanwhile, under the action of condensation

and flocculation of PAC and PAM, the precipitates created condense with each other;

suspended particles in waste water and some inorganic matter and organics are absorbed

to form massive cotton-like alumen ustum.

Waste water will flow automatically into sloped-tube setting tank; some cotton-like

alumen ustum settles naturally depending on gravity action to remove suspended matter,

heavy metal ion, and some organics. Sludge in sludge bucket should be cleaned up

regularly and sent to relevant departments for burning, landfill or other treatments.

Effluent from the setting tank will be then driven into active carbon ozone oxidation

tank by pump. Due to the function of resistance of filling, waste water is evenly

arranged and seep slowly from top to bottom. At the same time, taking air as raw

material, the ozone created by ozone producer penetrates active carbon filling from

bottom to top of oxidation pool through gas distribution system, or be absorbed into

water by way of negative pressure through Venturi ejector; during the process of

sufficient contact of gas and liquid, part of organics, bacteria, chroma, stink and so on in

waster water will be eliminated after physical and chemical actions such as absorption,


-22-

retention, impaction, and rewinding and so on of active carbon with huge pore structure

and specific surface area; the rest are removed by ozone with strong oxidation

performance, better sterilization and deodorization, purification and decolorizing, and

degrading organics abilities under the catalysis of active carbon.

Waste water finally enters into active carbon biofilter; part of little suspended matter,

micro metal tiny organics not eliminated yet will be eliminated after physical and

chemical actions such as absorption, and retention and so on of active carbon with huge

pore structure and specific surface area; the rest will be eliminated through degradation

by anaerobic, aerobic and facultative bacteria and so on in microbial film which are

attached to active carbon; processes of retention and absorption of active carbon and

degradation and desorption of microorganism happen alternatively and circularly. Till

now, waster water can reach discharge standard.

The whole waste water treatment process is automatically controlled by PLC

programming. There is floating ball liquid level controller in the regulating tank; the

pump will automatically stop at the state of low liquid level, and start at the state of high

liquid level; there is liquid level meter in medicine-adding box, and it will make alarm

in short of medicine and stop running. The whole machine can basically realize

unattended operation.

★ Be easy to operate, runs steadily with long service life and low operation and

maintenance charges;

★ Cover small area, and it can be set inside or outside according to different conditions;

★ It can be specifically designed and manufactured according to different requirements

of users.

3) Scope of application:

It is widely used in universities and colleges, scientific research units, inspection

organizations, chemical laboratories to comprehensively treat experiment waste water.

4) Main technical parameters:

Table 2.3-1 Main Technical Parameters Items Technical Parameters

Treatment Flow (m3/d) 5

Clearance (%)

Heavy metal (total lead, total manganese, total zinc, total mercury, total arsenic etc.) ≥96

Chemical oxygen demand ≥93

Trichloromethane ≥93

Disinfection efficiency (%) ≥91 Dung coliform flora (mpn/L) ≤220

Total number of bacteria (cfu/L) ≤7500 Noise (dB) ≤65

Price (inclusive of pie network) 200 thousand Yuan

According to scheme comparison, the assessment holds that laboratory wastewater


-24-

discharge is intermittent discharge, and water quality of waste water discharged varies

due to different monitoring contents, which is not suitable to be treated with

biochemical process (program one).Under same waste water quantity and water quality,

processing effect of program two is stable, and the resistance to impact is stronger; it is

widely used, which is special laboratory sewage treatment whole-set device; therefore,

program two is recommend. Total investment of the sewage treatment facility is about

200 thousand Yuan (processing capacity is 5m3/d) and the operation cost is about 1

Yuan/ton water.

Minutes:

On Jul. 6, 2009, laboratory project working team of Tonghua City Inspection Center

holds residents’ forum in the Station Master Room of Tonghua City Agro-Technical

Extension Integrated Station; there are 21 residents near the laboratory taking part in the

forum. The laboratory project working team firstly introduces general situation, and

environmental management plan of the project, and gives account of effulent pollution

problem commonly concerned by people: the first is: through inspection of Provincial

Agricultural Products Inspection Center, the up-to-standard rate of agricultural products,

especially vegetable reaches 90-95%, but the agricultural products quality and safety

conditions are not optimistic; it is imperative under the situation to build agricultural

products safety inspection center. The second is to emphasize public participation by

utilizing World Bank loan item, seeking for opinions from nearby residents, which will

be beneficial to smooth development of the project. The third is not to build laboratory

newly, but to rebuild the building on the basis of three laboratories such as Agricultural

Sciences Station, Plant Protection Station, and Clay Fertilizer Station, which will

discharge less pollutants. Main reasons: 1. Purchase newer and more advanced

apparatuses and equipments, less sample weight, higher inspection accuracy, less

discharged pollutants. 2. Inspections of pesticide, veterinary medicine, fishery medicine

products are entrusted to provincial relevant departments. 3. Exhaust gas from the

laboratory will be collected by way of negative pressure and filtered with

high-efficiency particle air filter, and discharged through exhaust funnel after reaching

standards; sewage created will be treated with sewage disposal device and discharged

after reaching national standards; For solid wastes, common solid wastes will be sent to

urban garbage disposal plant for united treatment after classification; the hazardous

wastes will be collected intensively, and gradually sent to Changchun City Lantian

Hazardous Wastes Disposal Plant for united treatment. The project will not cause great

effect on the surrounding environment.

For possible environmental impact factors and proposed environmental protection

measures, the project team seeks for opinions from nearby residents, and deeply learns

of public awareness of the significance and function of project construction and


-48-

opinions on regional environmental quality, and earnestly hears suggestions and

opinions of residents on environmental protection of the project, and fills in the

questionnaire. At the forum, they commonly discuss the benefits of this project to

agricultural products quality and safety, and widely hear opinions and suggestions of the

masses. Some residents air their opinions on the project and put forward suggestions,

now make a summary as follows:

1) Jiang Yazhen (No. 11, Xinguang Road, worker 70-year old)

Question: exhaust gas from the laboratory during the operation will cause effect on

residents’ life, and prevention and control measures should be intensified.

Reply of the project team: exhaust gas from the laboratory will be collected by way of

negative pressure and filtered with high-efficiency particle air filter, and discharged

through exhaust funnel after reaching national standards, which will not cause effect on

nearby residents; especially the provincial and municipal environmental protection

departments will supervise it, please set your mind at rest.

2) Zhang Xiuming (No. 11, Xinguang Road, retired cadre, 64-year old)

Question: what will the Inspection Center inspect? Do not carry out project inspection

experiments of microorganism and viruses etc. causing harm to human being or

environment.

Reply of the project team: the Inspection Center will inspect pesticide, heavy metal and

harmful and toxic matters of agricultural products such as foodstuff, vegetables, fruit,

animal husbandry products and aquatic products and so on and the agricultural

environment such as soil, water and atmosphere and so on and the sanitary conditions of

agricultural products; the inspection of pesticide, veterinary medicine and fishery

medicine etc. causing greater effect to the environment will be entrusted to provincial

relevant departments.

Forum conclusions:

The masses taking part in the forum discuss other matters of the inspection center; at

last, they unanimously hold that it is to make transformations on the original laboratory,

and the project construction is beneficial to improve laboratory environment and

agricultural products quality and safety of our city and province, which can guarantee


-49-

safe and secure agricultural products for local masses; therefore, they hold that the

project should be constructed as soon as possible.

Because the proposed laboratory building is near to residential area, the assessment

suggests installing equipments such as blower and so on with high noise in sealed room.

If the design requires installing equipments on the roof, it is suggested to build simple

sound insulation room to reduce noise of blower.

(2) Visit Tonghua City Jingyu Middle School

The project team specially seeks for opinions from Huang Shulin and Zhang Yuguo,

representatives of Tonghua City Jingyu Middle School (200m or so away from the

proposed construction site in the northeast) on the proposed construction site. The

representatives of the school have some considerations for the project at the beginning,

but the project team explains that the construction site is only for laboratory, and the

project is just to enlarge and rebuild the existing laboratory building; at last the

representatives agree with the project construction.

(3) Statistics and analysis on summarized results of public questionnaire

The forum recovers 21 copies of public questionnaires in the public participation

investigation, and there are 2 copies of questionnaires recovered through visiting and

investigating after the forum, totally 23 copies. The findings of investigation indicate

that only 4.3% is satisfied with agricultural products quality and safety of Jilin Province.

73.9% is not satisfied; 100% of the informants holds that the agricultural products

quality and safety of Jilin Province needs to be improved, and the construction of this

project is beneficial to improve agricultural products quality and safety; 56.5% of the

public holds that they are mostly worried about problems in the construction period, and

only 4.5% holds that the construction will cause effect on the environment, which

accords with the practical situation; main impacts during the construction period involve

air contamination and noise contamination, which occupies 69.6% and 56.5%

respectively. 95.6% persons hold that these effects can be prevented and controlled by

adopting effective measures, only 4.4% (one person) holds that he has no idea about it;

100% of the public is in favor of the construction.
