Air pollution from air stripping of industrial VOCs: a mitigating alternative using renewable energy
Four reaction beds (glass, Plexiglas, concrete and metal) exposed to solar (UV) light and coated with titanium dioxide were used for testing the degradation of Dichloroacetic Acid (DCA) in water, with concentrations of 130 ppmv, 390 ppmv and 650 ppmv. The glass-bed reactor showed the highest photonic efficiency followed by Plexiglas, concrete and metal. The 390-ppmv DCA gave the highest rate of ...

What pollutants can wet scrubbers control?
Wet scrubbers can control specific air pollutants. Industries producing such pollutants should consider wet scrubbers to minimize environmental impact and personal safety risks. They can help reduce any of the following air pollutants. 1. Inorganic fumes, vapors and gases Many industries use wet scrubbers to control airborne fumes, vapors and gases. If these inorganic pollutants enter the ...

Everything You Need to Know about VOC Monitoring System
From acute lower respiratory infections in children to lung cancer, the number of diseases concerning the worsening air quality petrifies people globally. Its damages have been recognized by the World Health Organization, which calls the worldwide air pollution crisis the “largest single environmental health risk.” Among all the air pollutants, VOCs are the ones governments have to ...

The Importance of Managing VOCs Emission is Worth Repeating
VOCs, the abbreviation of Volatile Organic Compound, originate from automobiles, industrial production, and civilian use. Studies have shown that long exposure to the components will damage the liver, kidneys, or central nervous system. That is why governments plan to cope with the problem, longing for a solution for this health-threatened issue. As a leading environmental issue solutions ...

Modest Growth for Air Pollution Control Market
The Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 created a wave of optimism in the air pollution control (APC) business. The subsequent decade, however, resulted in backwash of disappointment for APC companies as the market for stationary source equipment declined from 1-4% per year from 1993-1998. Growth returned to the APC market, however, with 1999 and 2000 characterized as 'good' years by the Institute ...

Developpement of on-line and field dual TD GC – MS for automatic VOC monitoring on petrochemical sites
Significance of the Research: Ambient air is polluted by many VOCs coming from Petrochemical Industry. PAMS, Oxygenated or Halogenated VOCs can be found in many ranges of concentration between background and site fence line. These compounds are precursors of ozone and Industrial bodies need to identify them to be in compliance with the authorized limits and to improve their process. Objectives: ...

Curbing Emissions From The Manufacture Of Wood Products
Untitled Document Many types of industrial facilities must control airborne emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), to meet site-specific regulatory thresholds. For instance, makers of manufactured wood products such as oriented stand board, particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, high-density ...

Environmental & Economic
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a fundamental parameter in assessing air quality. The European Environment Agency (EEA) reported in 2018 that air pollution was the cause of almost 50,000 premature deaths in Europe per year. This finding pre-empted the head of the EEA agency stating "Air pollution is an invisible killer and we need to step up our efforts to address the causes”. ...

Volatile Organic Compounds measurement in urban tropical environment: Concentration levels near cities
Theme 8: Air Pollution in a Tropical Climate Rapid urbanization and economic development in South-East Asia in past decades has led to air pollution problems such as excess of nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Motor vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, chemical solvents as well as biogenic emissions are the major anthropogenic sources of VOCs. ...

`The Advantages & Drawbacks of the EPA`s Coating & Composites Coordinated Rule Development,` presented at the 2000 SUR
Introduction Under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), the U.S. EPA is required to regulate sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Primarily, HAP emissions are regulated through National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs), which are codified under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)Part63. NESHAPs address HAP emissions from a particular process or ...
