Annexes
With a sulphur content of the raw materials of 0.12 % or more, the emissions of sulphur dioxide
and sulphur trioxide, expressed in sulphur dioxide in the gaseous effluent at a mass flow of
10 kg/1 hour2 or more, may not exceed 1.5 g/Nm 3 .
All possibilities for the reduction of emissions by cleaning installations for gaseous effluent
must be applied.
§ 3. For existing establishments, as referred to in section 30.9 of the classification list, the provisions
of chapter 5.30 also apply.
Section 5.20.5 Installations for the production of hydroelectric energy as well as installations
for the abstraction of wind power for energy production
Art. 5.20.5.1

The Finnish environmental protection legislation has been revised recently and a new Environmental
Protection Act came into force on the 1 st of March, 2000. The new act totally implements
the EU Directive on Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) and has an integrated
approach to control emissions caused by the industry. According to the Environmental
Protection Act an environmental permit is required for installations of the chemical industry.
In the permitting procedure the environment is considered as a whole and all the environmental
effects of the activity are estimated at the same time. All necessary permit conditions are set in
a single permit. The application for a permit is dealt with by one competent authority.
In Finland permit conditions are set mainly based on case-by-case consideration. At the moment
there are no special regulations concerning the emissions to air or waste water from the
chemical industry. Instead there are some general Council of State Decisions on discharging
certain compounds into public sewer systems or into water bodies. In addition to that there are
regulations banning or restricting the use of certain hazardous chemicals. All of them are valid
in the chemical industry as well as in all other branches of industry.
International recommendations, e.g. HELCOM-recommendations (HELSINKI COMMISSION,
Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission), are also taken into consideration in setting
the permit conditions.
