Adopt Best Practices for Noise, Dust, and Light Pollution Control: Implementing robust measures to control noise, dust, and light pollution is crucial for minimizing the environmental impact of a Material Recovery Facility (MRF). Best practices include: Noise Control: Use noise barriers and enclosures around noisy machinery. Schedule noisy operations during less sensitive hours. Regular maintenance of equipment to reduce noise emissions. Utilize low-noise technologies and equipment. Dust Control: Implement dust suppression techniques such as mist cannons and water sprinklers. Enclose conveyor systems to minimize dust release during material handling. Pave surfaces to reduce dust generation from vehicle movement. Install windbreaks to divert dust away from sensitive areas. Regular cleaning through sweeping and vacuuming to prevent dust buildup. Light Pollution Control: Use shielded lighting fixtures to direct light downward and reduce upward light spill. Employ motion sensors and timers...

  Best Practices for Environmental Management in the Proposed MRF in Philippine Setting I. Dust and Odor Control Measures: Implementing effective dust control measures during material handling and transportation, such as using water suppression systems and covered transport vehicles, to minimize airborne particles. Installing odor control technologies, such as biofilters or air scrubbers, to address potential odors from the decomposition of organic waste. 1. Dust Control Measures: Water Suppression Systems: Types: Mention specific types of water suppression systems like mist cannons, fog cannons, and sprinkler systems. Each has its advantages and suitability depending on material handled and site characteristics. Cite references like the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Air Pollution Control Techniques Document for Materials Handling and Storage ( https://www3.epa.gov/ttnemc01/qahandbook3/qaiii%201994/qa%20vol%20iii%20-%20sept%201994%20pt1.pdf ) for...
