Good technology achieve the same result with less resources
-
IPPC is an EU directive on integrated prevention and control of pollution
BAT means that the Best Available Technology should be used to reduce
pollution
-
Ventilation and aeration of buildings is a major aspect their operation
Air condition is a main user of energy
Air pollution is a major threat towards human health in the outer
environment.
Technical processes produce not only product but also waste
Waste management has developed through several stages: Correct handling of
landfills, dealing with hazardous waste and, sorting, returning and recycling of waste
Monitoring of air and water pollution is important in more densely populated
areas, an example is the Stockholm - Uppsala Air Quality Management Association
Several methods to measure air pollution exists and include both optical and
mechanical filtering methods
Air pollutants are mostly emitted from combustion processes
Air pollution in cities varies both with and between days.
Air pollution is also locally influenced by the topography
Pollution from vehicles, especially cars, constitute a substantial fraction of
all air pollution
Car exhaust will diminish if fuel is combusted more completely especially when
combined with post engine combustion, i.e. catalytic converters.
To reduce emissions of carbon dioxide either low or no-emission vehicles are
need for the transport needs or transports have to be reduced
To control the emissions from combustion plants one way is to increase the
efficiency an other to take pre-combustion measures, i.e. to use cleaner fuel
Flue gasses may have the particle content reduced in mechanical collectors or in
electrostatic prcipitators or in fabric filters
Desulphurization of flue gasses may be done in wet scrubbers or spray wet
scrubbers or bu adsorbent injection
NOx emissions may be controlled by combustion modifications or selective
catalytic reduction or by selective non-catalytic reduction
