Pollution Problem

Abstract Air pollution control has become the area of interest due to the ever increasing air pollution problem from the automobiles. Several researchers have conducted several experiments to control the air pollution concentration from automobiles by using several techniques but this area has a wide scope for improvement. This research paper is based on an experiment conducted on a Four Stroke Spark Ignition engine test rig using an Innovative catalytic converter which was coated with nano-particles to estimate its effectiveness in air pollution control. The results of the experiment conducted clearly indicate that the Innovative design of catalytic converter is effective in air pollution control from automobiles.

It is time we settled down to a sensible, practical approach to solving the industrial air pollution problem. That is the goal of this paper: to take the sensationalism out and replace it with a sensible evaluation of the situation. The major points covered are 1 a brief review of historical facts, 2 an analysis of present conditions around the world, 3 what is industry’s responsibility, 4 a comparison of legislative procedures and their enforcement effectiveness, 5 the impact of air pollution control costs on worldwide markets, 6 suggestions for solutions.

Abstract In 2015, the All-China Environment Federation v Dezhou Jinghua Group Zhenhua Corporation Limited case was the first civil environmental public interest litigation (CEPIL) against air pollution in China. Constituting a milestone in the field of air pollution control in China, this case (i) confirms the eligibility of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) to file civil public interest litigations; (ii) discusses remedies for the ecological destruction caused by air pollution; (iii) assesses the ecological and environmental damage using the ‘virtual restoration cost’ method; and (iv) uses public apology as an innovative way for Zhenhua to assume liability. By applying and interpreting several important rules under the Environmental Protection Law of China (EPLC) for the first time, this case sets an example for future CEPILs against air pollution in China.

No2 Pollution

The Chinese government has implemented a number of environmental policies to promote the continuous improvement of air quality while considering economic development. Scientific assessment of the impact of environmental policies on the relationship between air pollution and economic growth can provide a scientific basis for promoting the coordinated development of these two factors. This paper uses the Tapio decoupling theory to analyze the relationship between regional economic growth and air pollution in key regions of air pollution control in China—namely, the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region and surrounding areas (BTHS), the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), and the Pearl River Delta (PRD)—based on data of GDP and the concentrations of SO2, PM10, and NO2 for 31 provinces in China from 2000 to 2019. The results show that the SO2, PM10, and NO2 pollution in the key regions show strong and weak decoupling. The findings additionally indicate that government policies have played a significant role in improving the decoupling between air pollution and economic development. The decoupling between economic growth and SO2 and PM10 pollution in the BTHS, YRD, and PRD is better than that in other regions, while the decoupling between economic growth and NO2 pollution has not improved significantly in these regions. To improve the relationship between economic growth and air pollution, we suggest that the governments of China and other developing countries should further optimize and adjust the structure of industry, energy, and transportation; apply more stringent targets and measures in areas of serious air pollution; and strengthen mobile vehicle pollution control.
