Air quality management is divided broadly into four steps: The first
step involves identifying the existing air quality and exploring the
causes of the same. Now, a policy is formulated to solve these
issues. Even after the initial problem has been resolved, the
control method should still be applied. The development of such
policies requires detailed information about the air quality, i.e., the
principal source of pollution and its location. Different monitoring
systems are employed the monitoring air quality. It is done to
examine excessive pollutant levels, compare compliance with the
standards, identify the source contributions, determine exposures,
etc. Which management technique is the most important depends
on the objective for which the measurements are to be conducted.
Emission inventories monitor emission rates from different
sources. They apply an emission factor which represents the
mass of emissions per unit of activity times the activity factor.
There has been great progress in the last few years to counter
increasing air pollution. However, there are still many areas and
cities that require attention. It has been observed over the past
years that there is no single strategy for air pollution control, and it
depends vastly on the city. An important observation that has
emerged in the last few years is that air pollution management
requires a combination of different strategies, like Technological,
economic, political, and social.
