We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Environmental Legislation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Laser fume extraction on a budget from
Laser Fume Extraction, which we summarised at the time by saying "Some form of fume extractor will be required when purchasing and installing a laser: where should this be sourced?".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release JW Townson solve Belgian plant emissions challenge from
James Walker Townson: "A fast installation was needed on custom-designed installation of five ductwork compensators to meet new environmental emissions legislation at a Belgian precious metals refinery".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Emerson Process Management - UK/Ireland
- take a look at Emerson success in Quality, Health + Safety
which says: "Emerson now holds 4 internationally recognised standards for Quality and Health and Safety at its Leicester facility, and was the first organisation worldwide to be certificated to ISO/TS 29001 by BSI".
Take a look also at the news release from Intertek Caleb Brett, Intertek acquires Ageus Solutions,
as well as Monitoring power station water flows for PPC from Micronics,
