UNIT-I

Air pollution Sampling and analysis of air pollutants, conversion of ppm into mg/m3 . Definition of terms related to air pollution and control – secondary pollutants – Indoor air pollution – Ozone holes and Climate change and its impact – Carbon trade.

UNIT-II

Thermodynamics and kinetics of air pollution Applications in the removal of gases like SOx , NOx , CO and HC – Air-fuel ratio – Computation and Control of products of combustion Automobile pollution, Odour pollution control, Flares.

UNIT-III

METEOROLOGY and air pollution Properties of atmosphere: Heat, pressure, Wind forces, Moisture and relative humidity, Lapse Rates – Influence of Terrain and Meteorological phenomena on plume behavior and Air Quality – Wind rose diagrams, Plume Rise Models.

UNIT-IV

Ambient air quality management Monitoring of SPM, RPM, SO2 ; NOx and CO – Stack Monitoring for flue gases – Micro-meteorological monitoring – Noise monitoring – Weather Station. Emission Standards – Gaussian Model for Plume Dispersion

UNIT-V

Air pollution control Control of particulates – Control at Sources, Process changes, Equipment modifications, Design and operation of control Equipments – Settling Chambers, Cyclone separators – Fabric filters, scrubbers, Electrostatic precipitators.

UNIT-VI

Air pollution control methods Control of NOx and SOx emissions – Environmental friendly fuels – In-plant Control Measures, process changes, methods of removal and recycling. Environmental criteria for setting industries and green belts.
