What are the six criteria pollutants that are defined by the Clean Air Act? Briefly discuss how each is linked to the production of greenhouse gases. b) Discuss three methods for controlling or remediating particulate materials in the smokestack gases emitted from a solid-waste incinerator. c) List at least two components or contributors to poor indoor air quality. Discuss at least two methods that can be used to improve indoor air quality. d) Give at least five methods to generate electricity, where enough electricity is produced to allow for commercial sales. Based on your given list, rank order them as contributors to producing smog (1 means very little smog produced; 5 means lots of smog may be produced). Discuss your reasoning for the ordering or ranking you have given.

Solution

The six criteria pollutants that are defined by the clean air act

1)carbon monoxide

2)  lead

3) nitrogen dioxide

4) ozone

5) particulate matter

6)sulfur dioxide.

b)Fine-particle control devices fall into three general categories, which are filtration collectors, including fabric filters (baghouses); electrostatic collectors, including dry and wet electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) and ionizing wet scrubbers; and wet inertial-impaction collectors, including venturi scrubbers and advanced designs that use flux-force condensation-enhancement techniques.

c)components for poor indoor air quality

d)Methods generate electricity

for turbines and reciprocating methods fuels has to burn.during this process lots of combustion products will release so these will consists smoke leads to smog

for photo voltaic cells no products will get release so it does not cause any smog

photo chemical also cause some products which causes smog.
