Environmental impact assessment for the construction of the new animal health laboratories

TL;DRAbstract

Activities under Avian Influenza Control and Human Pandemic Preparedness and Response projects for Albania are not expected to generate significant adverse environmental effects as they are focused largely on public sector capacity building and improved readiness for dealing with outbreaks of avian influenza in domestic poultry and a potential human pandemic. These prevention-focused activities are expected to have a positive environmental impact as the Project's investments in facilities, equipment, and training for border inspection points and for veterinary and public health services and laboratories will improve the effectiveness and safety over existing avian influenza handling and testing procedures. The main areas of environmental risk from project activities are the inadvertent spread of the AI virus during culling, transport and disposal of carcasses, animal waste, litter, and used protective gear; construction and operation of incinerators for treatment of disposals from labs
