Overview
This unit explores the importance of anthropogenic sources of air pollution and ways to minimize air pollution by the application of different practices. It provides an overview of air pollution in an urban and industrial environment, particularly on the formation of air pollutants, the transport of pollutants in the atmosphere, and the techniques available for controlling these air pollutants (particles, gases, or vapors). Case studies on the current air quality management, the legislation and policies aimed at reducing emissions and improving air quality in Southeast Asian countries will be discussed.
