Abstract

Manufacturing indirectly eliminates air pollution that threatens employees' safety, efficiency in production, and the environment. With this study, the researcher evaluated engineering strategies in the reduction of harmful emissions like particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (Nox), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and carbon monoxide (CO). The paper compares the various filtration systems, such as HEPA filters, electrostatic precipitators, activated carbon adsorption, wet scrubbers, and biofilters. It rates their efficacy, cost energy consumption, and maintenance requirements. Case studies show how custom solutions in the chemical, metal, and pharmaceutical industries cut all pollutants. The study also advocates the significance of tailored, cost-effective solutions and adherence to regulation as means of air quality enhancement.
