domestic appliances (gas stoves, gas or wood heaters) can also be significant
sources of nitrogen oxides, particularly in areas that are poorly ventilated. NO and NO2 are of
interest because of potential effects on human health.
Nitric oxide is colourless and odourless and is oxidised in the atmosphere to form nitrogen
dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide is an odorous, brown, acidic, highly corrosive gas that can affect our
health and environment. Nitrogen oxides are critical components of photochemical

The Taranaki Regional Council advocates conversion of
steep erodible land to forestry, on faces where trees can

Waste minimisation
A key part of waste minimisation is reducing and reusing waste, finding ways to reduce the
waste created, or reusing materials that might otherwise be discarded. In an increasingly
throwaway society, it is important to focus on recycling, reusing and recovery as key
principles of minimising the amount of waste that ends up in landfill.
Regional waste management
In September 2008, the Waste Minimisation Act
intended for a variety of applications, and was used for the
1998 study. An updated version is still in use in Australia and New Zealand
today.
This is a steady-state Gaussian model, where the meteorological conditions at
the source are assumed to remain constant as the plume travels downwind.
While non-steady state models can give more accurate predicted concentrations
in complex terrain or at distances of more than a few kilometres downwind,
models such as AUSPLUME are considered to be
