Air Pollution

Synopsis

How can we be sure our air is safe to breathe? This 5-video album introduces the principles of air quality management and looks at how we analyse pollution control problems. Individual segments review the nature and characteristics of air pollution today and demonstrate how air quality data is interpreted. They include a comparison between shipping and car emission levels, the processes used to remove pollutants from the air, and ways in which British Aerospace could limit its Volatile Organic Compound emissions in the future. The material forms part of T308: Environmental Monitoring, Modelling and Control. Individual tracks are: Air Pollution (4.13); Pollution - Shipping (6.12); Pollution - Cars (3.28); Clear Solutions (5.14); Industrial Emissions (5.44).
