1. Environmental Topic #1
Primary Air Pollution

2. Types of Air Pollution Primary – emitted directly into the atmosphere
Secondary – formed from primary air pollutants through a series of reactions

3. EPA Data
Monitoring sites across the state provide data on primary air pollutants
We can compare our violation free state to other states

4. “Regional Haze”

5. Reducing Air Pollution:

6. Thermal Exhaust Reactor

7. Catalytic Converter
                                                                                                                                                

8. Mass Transit

9. Burning Coal

10. Smelting Plants

11. Volcanic Activity

13. Particulates

14. Reducing Particulate Emissions:

15. Gravity Settling Chamber

16. Cyclone Separator

17. Yes, Another Cyclone Separator
                                                         

18. Electrostatic Precipitator

19. Reducing Hydrocarbon Emission:
Exhaust Gas Recovery
Catalytic Converters
Thermal Exhaust reactors
Higher air / fuel ratio (any cons to this?)
Vapor recovery at pumps
