EKAT: Your Environmental Knowledge and Assessment Tool

Identify, Research, and Evaluate Environmental and Safety Related Issues

The Environmental Knowledge and Assessment Tool (EKAT) is a comprehensive software tool used to identify, research, and evaluate environmental and pollution prevention options for products and systems.

EKAT is designed and built by the team of M2 Technologies, Kansas State University, and CABEM Technologies as members of the National Environmental Evaluation and Remediation Consortium (NEER).

This suite of integrated modules is designed to mitigate safety and environmental risks associated with material, product and system use. EKAT’s capabilities include: an environmental screening tool for regulatory requirements and potential issues of concern; estimating emissions from equipment or processes; an indoor air chemical concentration module; National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) evaluations; and Programmatic Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health Evaluation (PESHE) reports required by the Department of Defense.

EKAT‘s functionality includes project management and organization capability, the ability to collaborate within project teams, report archiving and content search capability as well as a host of information, resources and guidance documents.

The EKAT vision is to serve society by developing a web-based software tool that provides expert environmental management and regulatory compliance guidance to individual users, academia, government and the commercial business sector.
