- Module 1: History Of Air PollutionThe introduction to Air Pollution began dating back to the discovery of fire. However, it became impactful after human exposure to the chemical species created by biomass burning like wood and vegetation combustion in poorly ventilated areas where concentrations might reach levels hazardous to human health.1
- Module 2: Sources Of Air PollutantsDepending on their origins or the sources, air pollutants might have a natural, man-made, or mixed origin. These pollutants, as well as their precursor gases, can come from both natural and man-made sources.1
- Module 3: Air Quality MeasuresAir quality measures or monitoring refers to the sampling and measuring of contaminants in the atmosphere. It is an essential component of any campaign to reduce air pollution.1
- Module 4: Control Devices For Particulate ContaminantsAir pollutants are the results of both mobile and stationary sources across a wide range of sectors. There are various types of control devices for particulate contaminants and air pollution management systems available.1
- Module 5: Control Devices For Gaseous PollutantsControl devices for gaseous pollutants system selection and design must be based on some particular knowledge about the exhaust gases to be treated. Information on gas flow rates and temperatures is required to correctly size the collector for the projected process operating conditions.1
- Module 6: Air Quality ManagementAir quality management refers to all the actions a regulatory administration undertakes to protect human health and the habitat and prevent them from the damaging effects of air pollution.1
