Preview Questions Environmental Engineer | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the importance of Environmental Management Plans (EMP) in an EIA for a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

EMPs only focus on the safety of plant workers

They are irrelevant if the EIA complies with regulations

EMPs outline mitigation measures, monitoring, and corrective actions, ensuring that identified environmental impacts are managed and minimized throughout the project

EMPs are only needed after construction is complete

Question 2: In wastewater treatment, which process is most commonly used to reduce the concentration of ammonia in effluent?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Coagulation-flocculation

Chemical precipitation

Reverse osmosis

Nitrification-denitrification

Question 3: What method would you use to determine the direct impact of a chemical plant's wastewater on nearby ecosystems during an EIA?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Estimating the potential for bioaccumulation of pollutants

All of the above

Measuring the dissolved oxygen in the receiving water

Conducting aquatic life toxicity tests

Question 4: What is the purpose of conducting a "spills and leaks assessment" under the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) in the chemical industry?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To monitor water usage in chemical processes

To evaluate potential air pollution

To assess and prevent oil spills into navigable waters and ensure proper response and reporting procedures are in place

To assess land degradation from facility activities

Question 5: How would you approach the treatment of wastewater containing high concentrations of nitrates and ammonium in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Discharge wastewater without any treatment

Rely on chemical coagulation alone

Use simple filtration techniques

Use biological nitrification-denitrification processes or advanced oxidation processes to reduce nitrogen levels

Question 6: What is the purpose of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in the chemical industry?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To control the disposal of hazardous waste

To regulate the use of chemicals and substances in manufacturing

To regulate the transportation of hazardous chemicals

To enforce water pollution standards
