Introduction to heat waves and Heatwaves in Bangladesh.pptx
Air pollution
1.
2. Overview:
Normal constituents of air.
Definition of air pollution.
Sources and causes of contamination.
Types of air pollution, effects and
prevention
Egypt’s situation.
4. Definition of air pollution
Alteration of percentages of normal air
constituents or/and contamination of the
air by:
noxious gases
minute particles of solid and liquid
matter (particulates)
in concentrations that endanger health.
5. Major sources of air pollution
Transportation engines
Power and heat generation
Industrial processes
Burning of solid waste.
28. Smog (Dense visible air
pollution)
Smoke fog Smog
Types of smog:
Grey / Industrial / Sulfurous / London
smog
Brownish / Photochemical / Nitrous /
Los Angelos smog

35. Prevention and control of
chemical air pollution
Promote the use of clean fuel. (natural gas –
solar energy – wind)
Control the burning of solid waste & fuel +
applying a safe way to dispose & recycle it
(biomass energy).
Industrial sources:
-Concentrate industrial activities in new cities
outside residual areas
-Upgrading old factories
-Regular machine maintenance
-Substitution of old technology by new one
Motor vehicle:
-↓Traffic volume
36. Prevention and control of
chemical air pollution
Scientific group to assess damage of pollution
Laws to control emission
Education in schools & universities about effects of
pollution
Personal careful attention to our interaction with
environment
Review of building materials for potential harmful
effects
Adequate ventilation
Restriction of smoking.
40. Prevention and control of
biological air pollution
Proper housekeeping & maintenance
of heating & air conditioning
equipment
Adequate ventilation & good air
distribution
Moisture control
Using integrated methods to control
insect & animal allergens
Personal hygiene (covering mouth &
nose by hand or mask during
sneezing or coughing).

Plus water vapor plus ozone
Prevention & control of chemical air pollution
1- Promote the use of clean fuel. (natural gas – solar energy – wind)
2- Control the burning of solid waste & fuel + applying a safe way to dispose & recycle it (biomass energy).
3- Industrial sources:
-Concentrate industrial activities in new cities outside residual areas
-Upgrading old factories
-Regular machine maintenance
-Substitution of old technology by new one
-Containment: (probably using gas cleaning device)
*solid & liquid particles -- fabric filters, cyclons
*smoke -- electrostatic precipitators
*SO2 -- dry absorption reaction with alkaline powder as lime stone
*NO -- economical methods
4-Motor vehicle:
-↓Traffic volume
-Motor maintenance & ↑full efficiency
-Natural gas powered vehicles
-Use thermal catalytic for burners
5-Scientific group to assess damage of pollution
6-Laws to control emission
7-Education in schools & universities about effects of pollution
8-Personal careful attention to our interaction with environment
9-Review of building materials for potential harmful effects
10-Adequate ventilation
11-Restriction of smoking.
