What are some preventive measures to reduce air pollution from industrial operations, such as installing particulate filters and catalytic converters in the exhaust systems of factories?
user
Industrial operations can reduce air pollution through practices such as installing particulate filters and catalytic converters in the exhaust systems of factories. Additionally, these operations could reduce their use of power plant pollutants, minimize their gas releases, use appropriate waste disposal methods and operate with energy-efficient procedures.

Installing particulate filters and catalytic converters in the exhaust systems of factories can be an effective way to reduce air pollution from industrial operations. These devices reduce emissions by filtering particulates out of the exhaust stream and converting pollutants such as carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons, and NOx into less harmful substances. They are regularly monitored for performance to ensure that they are retaining their efficiency, which requires maintenance and occasional replacement parts as needed.
