The integration of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Systems (EMS) has been approached several times in recent years. This article reviews existing conceptual frameworks and specific issues regarding the EIA-EMS integration, and recommends a new conceptual framework which is based on an alternating sequence of EMS and EIA. It also proposes adaptations in key documents of both processes. The recommendations are adaptable to the varied practice of EIA across the globe, and conform to the ISO14001-compliant EMS protocol.

Abstract This paper presents and applies a conceptual framework which addresses the causal relationships linking contaminant doses with responses in aquatic environments. The paper is focused on metal contaminants and reviews a northern case study in which the framework was applied. The approach emphasizes the environmental factors regulating the potential effects of contaminants and stresses the importance of understanding the physical environmental processes in monitoring design and the selection of linkages between the contaminant dose and the valued ecosystem components.
