What Does AEC Stand For?
AEC stands for Acceptable Effluent Concentration
AEC, or Acceptable Effluent Concentration, refers to the maximum allowable concentration of specific pollutants in wastewater discharged into the environment. It is a critical parameter in environmental regulations and sustainability practices, ensuring that effluents do not pose risks to ecosystems, public health, or water quality. Compliance with AEC standards supports responsible water management and promotes ecological balance.
