ANALYSIS, ASSESSMENT, AND MANAGEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AIR POLLUTION USING ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

description: Recent studies underscore the value of contemporary technology and gas emissions mitigation while overlooking the necessity of optimal fuel in Developing Countries (DC). DC's historical economic expansion has significantly depended on fossil fuels, resulting in severe environmental air pollution (EAP) challenges. The separation of economic progress from pollution has been the central emphasis in advancing environmental civilization in emerging countries. This study presents an analysis, assessment, and management of EAP using environmental engineering (EE) in DC. This work has examined the evolution of EAP regulations in DC, emphasizing a strategic shift from emission regulation to Air Quality Management (AQM). The regulation of Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions addressed the worsening of acid rain in DC. Since 2015, regulatory measures across several sources and industries have aimed to decrease the total amount of Fine Particulate Matter (FPM2.5), signifying a shift towards an AQM-focused policy. Escalating ozone (O3) pollution necessitates integrated management measures for O3 and FPM2.5, focusing on their intricate photochemical reactions. Significant enhancement of AQM in DC, as a crucial metric for the efficacy of sustainable economic development, necessitates the profound carbon reduction of the DC's energy infrastructure and the establishment of more integrated strategies to tackle EAP and climate change in DC concurrently. 2024, Rotherham Academic Press Ltd.
