1, what is pollution control? Pollution control is the management of waste materials in order to minimize the effects of pollutants on people and the environment 2, general approaches to pollution - The intermittent reduction of industrial activities during peroids of high air-pollution conditions Wider dispersion of pollutants using such devices as taller smokestacks Reduction of pollutants in industrial emissions Change of an industrial process or activity in order to produce less pollution Disadvantage of approaches - Taller smokestacks may rereduce the concentrations to which local people are exposed, but they are inffective in reducing overall population The fumes from these stacks have also caused a noticeable increase in acid rain - pollutants removed from waste flows to reduce emissions to air and water may be disposed of by burial or storage on land, pratices that pose potential hazards 4, most effective method of pollution control - Changing a manufacturing process or activity in order to produce less pollution may involve either the production of fewer residuals by means of an improved process or the separation and reuse of materials from the waste stream
