Typical pollution emission sources

Identifies major sources of air pollution that need to be considered in urban ventilation design, including road traffic, combustion plant, industrial processes, building exhaust discharges, and construction sites.

Typical pollution emission sources that need to be considered include – (a) road traffic, including traffic junctions and underground car parks; (b) combustion plant (such as heating appliances) running on conventional fuels, most commonly oil or natural gas; (c) other combustion processes (e.g. waste incineration, thermal oxidation abatement systems); (d) discharges from industrial processes; (e) fugitive (i.e. adventitious/not effectively controlled) discharges from industrial processes and other sources; (f) building ventilation system exhaust discharges; and (g) construction and demolition sites which are a source of particles and vapourous discharges.
