At Valorsul, what you no longer value and have therefore thrown away becomes a resource again, a raw material that can be transformed into a new cardboard box, a new glass bottle, electricity, fertiliser for agriculture or materials for building a new road.

MONITORING THE WTE PLANT
Monitoring the Waste To Energy Plant

The environmental monitoring programmes, which have been carried out continuously since a year before the plant started operating, are as follows:

- Air Quality (continuous) - Technical Department of Valorsul, S.A.;
- Air Quality (discontinuous) - Environment and Development Institute of the University of Aveiro;
- Continuous monitoring of atmospheric emissions - Technical Department of Valorsul, S.A.;
- Environmental Noise - ASA - Ailton Santos e Associados, Lda;
- Water and Sediment Quality - Hydrographic Institute of the Navy;
- Terrestrial and Estuarine Ecosystems - Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon;
- Public and Psychosocial Health Monitoring - Environmental Health Institute of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon.

Over the last almost 20 years of collecting and analysing data on the environmental parameters of the region surrounding the power station, in studies conducted whenever possible by independent entities, the results are positive and consistent: the power station's activity has no negative impact on the environmental quality of its surroundings.
