Air Pollution Control System

Air pollution is defined as the presence of harmful substances in the atmosphere that adversely affect human health and the environment. Major sources include stationary sources like factories and power plants, and criteria pollutants such as carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide are of particular concern due to their health and environmental impacts. Various control techniques are employed to reduce emissions and mitigate air pollution effects.

Air pollution control systemsystem


INTRODUCTION
• Atmospheric condition in which presence of certain
substance in such concentrations produce undesir-
able effect on the man and environment.
• They may be gases or particular matter.
• SOxS, NOxS, CO, hydrocarbons etc are some of
the gases.
• Smoke , dust, fumes, and aerosols are some of the
particular matter.
• Thei presence in an amount is greater than natural
percentage is considered to be causing air pollution.
SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION
• Stationary and area sources :
A stationary source of air pollution refers to
an emission source that does not move .
• Stationary sources includes a factories ,
power plants, dry cleaners, etc.
• Residential wood burner are good example of
a small source, but when combined with
many other small sources.
CRITERIA POLLUTANTS
• We have identified six common air pollutants
of concern and are called criteria pollutants.
• The criteria pollutants are carbon monoxide ,
lead, nitrogen dioxide , ozone, particulate
matter , and sulphur dioxide .
• Exposure to these substances can cause
health effects , environmental effects , and
property damage.
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
• Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless ,
odourless , and poisonous gas and one of the
six criterial pollutants for which EPA has es-
tablished protective standards.
AIR POLLUTION CONTROL TECH-
NIQUES
• Source control techniques.
• Important - sets the tools to control air pollu-
tants emissions.
• Control measurments describes the equip-
ment processes or actions used to reduce air
pollution .
• The extent of pollution reduction varies
among technologies and measurments.
