Air pollution can be controlled by two fundamental ways.

Preventive technique:

Important measure to control air pollution

• Suitable fuel having low sulphur content should be used.
• Selection of suitable manufacturing site and zoning for industrial set up to disperse pollution sources eg. Setting of industries at a distance of residential areas.
• Modification of industrial processes and equipments to reduce emission.
• Building of higher stake facility for discharges of pollutants into air.

Effluents control:

• Substitution of raw-materials causing more pollution with that of less pollution causing materials.
• Use of non-conventional fuels like; Gobar gas ,Biogas, CNG and LPG must be prepared and encouraged.
• Use of equipments/devices for removal of pollutants from exhaust gages eg. Scrubbers, dry and wet collectors, filters, electrostatic precipitators etc.
• Growing and developing green belt and forests.
