Overview

An overview of legislation, engineering design considerations and major technologies for air pollution control projects. The presentation looks at climate change targets, the legislative requirements and targets and then the engineering of a suitable extraction/containment system and suitable abatement technologies to meet the legislative requirements. There is a Q&A sections at the end for discussion.

The webinar is aimed at any one who may be connected with corporate environmental responsibility, in particular with air pollution. It is generally aimed at people with an engineering background although the content is reasonably high level. Environmental managers would find the material useful in helping them to understand the basic requirements for assessing the best approach for resolving air pollution control issues.
