PARTICULATE MATTER EMISSION SOURCES AND THEIRCONTROL TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Particulate matter (PM) is a complex form of air pollution that includes all types of solid and liquid droplets present in the atmosphere. Primary PM Emission rates, sizes, and composition are difficult to predict since they rely not only on the industry, but also on the fuel properties, infrastructure, and other aspects of the emission process. Normal (volcanic eruptions, forest fires, and weathering of parent material and sea salt) and anthropogenic (power plants, internal combustion engines, and the thermo-degradation process) sources of airborne particulate matter exist. In order to uphold human health conditions and a clean climate; it has become important to reduce PM concentrations. Given the negative effects of particulates, their regulation is becoming increasingly necessary. In this article, we look at all of the origins of particulate matter, their negative consequences, and the monitoring systems that are used to minimize PM emissions. However, manufacturing and plant operations will get the most attention because they are the backbone of a country’s economy as well as one of the largest causes of PM pollution and traffic regulation.
