AKART

Akart is a term that may refer to several different meanings. The most common reference is as an acronym in environmental regulation, where AKART denotes a standard requiring consideration of all known, available and relevant technology for pollution control.

In this regulatory sense, AKART describes the obligation to evaluate technology options that exist and are feasible for reducing emissions or discharges, and to implement the most appropriate technology that can be reasonably achieved given site-specific constraints and costs. The exact wording of AKART varies by jurisdiction and program, so interpretations range from "All Known, Available and Readily Achievable Technology" to "All Known, Available and Relevant Technology."

AKART is often discussed in relation to other regulatory standards such as Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Practicable Technology (BPT). Depending on the regulatory framework, AKART may be required before stricter standards are imposed, or used as a benchmark in permit decision-making.

Outside regulation, AKART may appear as a brand name, acronym, or a generic construction of the phrase "a kart" in different languages. In any case, the intended meaning is usually context-dependent; readers should check the specific regulatory or organizational definition in use.
