POLLUTION MONITORING AND CONTROL

• Aims and objectives of air quality monitoring
• Instruments for sampling gaseous pollutants
• Sampling of particulates (suspended and respirable) by High Volume Sampler/ Respirable dust sampler
• Stack sampling Techniques:Planning the study,Selection of sampling location, Representative sample,Size of sampling point, Traverse points, Determination of gas composition, Determination of moisture content and   Determination of temperature and velocity

•  Air pollution control from stationary sources

•  control of air pollution by equipments: Settling chambers, Separators, Cyclones, Filters, Electrostatic precipitators and Scrubbers

• Control of gaseous Contaminants: Absorption, Adsorption, Combustion, Masking and Counteracting, Control at the Source

• Preventive Techniques: Shift of the sources, Substitution of raw material and fuels, Process modification

Alteration of equipments and good operating practices

• Sources and characteristics of industrial waste water and sewage
• Treatment of sewage:- Primary, secondary and tertiary(trickling filters and activated sludge process)
• Fundamentals of biological treatment
• Types of biological treatment: Aerobic and anaerobic treatment
•  Role of microbes in sludge digestion and disposal

• Methods of Soil Sampling
•  Soil microbes and their functions
•  Different kinds of fertilizers (N.P,K) and their effect on soil characteristics
• Soil contamination by metallic pollutants

• Measurement of Noise level
• Prevention and control of Noise Pollution
•  Noise Pollution Analyser, Sound absorption coefficient (ast), sound absorbing materials, reverbration time; Acoustic silencers, mufflers, barriers, vibration and impact isolation
