Abstract |
Particulate material found in ambient air originates from both stationary and mobile sources. Of the 11.5 million tons of particulate pollution produced by industrial, commercial, and domestic sources in 1966, 6 million tons were emitted from industrial sources, including industrial fuel burning; 5 million tons from power generation, incineration, and space heating; and 0.5 million ton from mobile sources. The following techniques are in use for controlling the source or reducing the effects of particulate pollution: Gas cleaning; Source relocation; Fuel substitution; Process changes; Good operating practice; Source shutdown; Dispersion. |
