Modeling the Effects of Local Air Pollution Control Measures on Air Quality in the Shenandoah Valley
Air quality in the Shenandoah Valley has deteriorated in recent years. The valley exceeds the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone (O3) a few days each year, and with stricter fine particulate matter (PM2.5) standards coming into effect, the valley risks exceeding those as well. …

Adsorption Thermodynamics and Mass Transfer of Toxic Volatile Organic Compounds in Activated -Carbon Fiber -Cloth for Air Pollution Control
… compounds (TVOCs) constitute 69% of the total air toxics emitted by major industrial point sources. Adsorption is one of the most practical mechanisms that can be used to separate and recover TVOCs before they are discharged into the atmosphere. Research on new adsorbent materials and …

Exhaust gas emissions from a prototype scrap tire incinerator/wastewater treatment plant sludge dryer
… metal (21.4 lb/hr total) emissions indicate a fairly significant amount of air pollution control equipment will be necessary for a commercial plant. Both nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide had low emission rates: 1.73 lb/hr and 0.64 lb/hr, respectively, due to the nonpotable water spray acting …

A Study of the Feasibility of the Application of United States Command-and-Control Regulations and Market-Based Incentives to Solve Industrial Air Pollution Problems in Thailand
Thailand's industrial air pollution control is in an immediate need for change. Despite increasing concerns among the population on the depreciating air quality, current legislations, monitoring system and enforcement mechanism have proven yet to be effective. This study explores the feasibility of …
