What's your EIA?

100

Under Presidential Decree No. 1586, this term is technically defined as a deviation or change from the baseline condition caused by a specific activity

Impact

300

According to DAO 2003-30, technical risk assessment is integrated into this mandatory first step of the EIA process to determine if a full study is required

Screening

500

In the Philippine EIS system, the exact need for and scope of a detailed Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) is determined during the transition from screening to this specific session

Scoping

Body is Tea

100

While acute hazards result from accidental high-level events, these hazards are defined by long-term exposure at low levels

Chronic hazards

300

This specific environmental phenomenon is caused when the burning of waste releases Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) into the atmosphere

Smog formation

500

This technical exposure pathway occurs when dioxins or heavy metals cross the placenta from a pregnant woman, potentially interfering with fetal organ formation

Transplacental Transfer

Never Again

100

This 1996 Philippine disaster involved a fractured drainage tunnel at the Tapian pit, releasing up to 4 million cubic meters of toxic tailings into the Boac river system

 Marcopper Mining Disaster

300

This 1970s environmental crisis in New York involved buried toxic trash that led to birth defects and lasting illness in the community

Love Canal Disaster

500

Triggered by what typhoon in the year 2000, the Payatas Landfill Collapse has lost the lives of some of the residents of a community known as "Lupang Pangako"

Typhoon Ditang

Take the Risk or Lose the Chance

100

Unlike risk, which is an outcome of exposure, this term refers to an inherent property of a substance—like toxicity—that has the potential to cause harm

Hazard

300

In a risk matrix, what are the two axes involve?

Likelihood and consequence

500

According to the shown risk matrix, a hazard with an "Unlikely" likelihood but an "Extreme" potential consequence results in this specific level of risk

High Risk

Step by the Step

100

 This is the third stage of the technical risk assessment framework, where likelihood and consequence data are integrated to determine the final risk level

Risk Characterization

300

During the Problem Formulation stage, this specific process identifies differences between a proposed activity and a baseline to find "novel characteristics" that may cause harm

Hazard Identification

500

In this stage, assessors identify prevention and mitigation strategies to lower risks to acceptable levels and establish protocols to detect environmental changes over time
