The source provides an extensive overview of air pollution, beginning with its definition as any atmospheric substance detrimental to human health or welfare. It categorises pollutants based on their entry method (primary or secondary), physical state (gaseous or particulate), molecular composition (organic or inorganic), and health threat, distinguishing between ubiquitous “criteria pollutants” and dangerous “hazardous pollutants.” The text examines numerous specific pollutants, including various hydrocarbons (such as methane, aldehydes, and carcinogens) and inorganic gases (including carbon oxides, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen compounds), detailing their sources, abundance, and associated health effects. Furthermore, the document discusses particulate matter and heavy metals like mercury and lead, classifying pollution sources by magnitude (major or minor) and the nature of their emissions, and presenting various abatement and control methods for mitigating these contaminants.
Air Pollutant Classifications, Sources, and Control Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.
Study Hard AND Study Smart!
Dear Students,
The textbook courses by Academy Europe are targeted at providing the students with the most important aspects of the theoretical and methodical materials. In addition, the textbook courses will also focus on the philosophical background for the development and use of the theoretical background and are thus to be understood as partly complementary to the material of the course notes. It is assumed and strongly suggested that the students study and become familiar with the course notes.
