Depending on the type of activity, the level of suspended solids (SS) is more or less significant, but their presence is frequent.
Effluents are generally devoid of immediately toxic substances, and have a wide range of nutrient concentrations, depending in particular on the type of activity.

Environmental management
The aim is to put in place measures not only to achieve regulatory compliance, but also to identify impacts, define responsibilities and implement actions to improve the environment.
Two main texts define the objectives to be reached and the means to achieve them: ISO 14001 certification and the European Eco-audit regulation (or EMAS, environmental management and audit scheme)....
