Abstract

Air pollution is a phenomenon harmful to the ecological system and the standard conditions of human existence. In the face of increasingly serious environmental pollution problems, various studies have been conducted on improving air quality better management of air pollution. Air pollution and higher rate of burning of fossil fuels consequently result into adverse weather patterns and atmospheric extremes like sand and dust storms (SDS) and wildfires. This chapter reviews some air pollution control technologies and their cost-effectiveness. We also provide an overview of atmospheric extreme events.
