Course Objectives: To introduce thestudents to the basics of air pollution, current air pollution issues, principles, concepts, methods
adopted in the air quality management.
To provide an introduction to design principles and their applications in design ofair pollution control system.
•Expected Outcomes: In this course students will (i) grasp the fundamentals of air pollution and its associated environmental impacts (ii) learn to describe the key concepts of air quality management and (iii) able to design air pollution control equipments for removal of gaseous and particulate pollutants
•Course Contents
Introduction:air pollution definition, sources and classification of air pollutants, air pollution episodes, effects of air pollutants on human health, vegetation and materials
Air Quality Standards and Legislations: air pollution control legislation, air quality criteria and standards, ambient air quality standards, emission standards, elements of regulatory control
Measurement and Monitoring of Air Pollutants:types of air sampling, sampling train, sampling of particulate and gaseous pollutants, stack emission monitoring, analysis and measurement of particulate and gaseous pollutants, online monitoring system
Air Pollution Meteorology: urban micrometeorological concepts-boundary layer structure, air pollution pathways, air quality phenomena-inversion, ventilation, urban heat island, atmospheric stability classification, plume behavior, wind velocity profiles, windand pollution rose diagrams
Air Quality Management : scales of air pollution problems, emission inventory, air quality management concept, elements of air quality management, statistical techniques in air quality data analysis and air quality indices air quality management practices in developed and developing countriesBasics of Air Pollution Control: general ideas in air pollution control, philosophy of air pollution control, engineering control of air pollution at sources, control principles and methods used to control gaseous and particulate pollutants and selection of air pollution control equipment
Design of Air Pollution Control Equipments: Design of settling chamber, cyclone separators, wet and dry scrubbers, bag filters, electrostatic precipitators
Vehicular Emissions Control: emissions from gasoline, diesel, CNG and biodiesel engines, catalytic convertors and filters
Indoor Air Pollution Control: sources and types of indoor air pollutants, control of indoor air pollution
Current Issues:hazardous air pollutants, CO2budgeting, air pollution effects on climate change, global air pollution, air pollution mitigation and adaptation to climate change
Air Laboratory-particulate matter sampling, gaseous sampling, indoor air sampling, bioaerosols sampling and stack monitoring.
