Since the beginning of the environmental movement in the 1960s many people have asked repeatedly if we better off environmentally today and, if so, can we do even more than we have done In some respects we see a bad side. The chemical industry still has a large amount of toxic chemical emissions. Pollution control is getting more expensive. On the brighter side. 

Asthma is considered as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. This inflammation causes recurrent episodes of symptoms, variable airflow limitation, and increased airway responsiveness. Prevention of asthma involves both the prevention of the initial development of asthma (= primary prevention) and the prevention of exacerbation in patients with asthma (= secondary prevention). Primary prevention methods include reducing exposure to indoor allergens, particularly domestic mites, avoidance of passive smoking, especially by infants, and avoidance of vehicle emission pollutants, largely from incomplete combustion of petrol by car engines. 

Coupled with normal electric motors, the systems can provide attractive power system alternatives for automobiles, tractors, trucks, aircraft, boats, ships, submarines, trains, and other vehicles, again without exhaust emissions, pollutants, or harmful waste products and without fuel costs. 

The principal concern when using tires for fuel is the effect on emissions. Pollutants of particular concern include criteria pollutants, particulates, metals, and unburned organics. 

Other engines, mainly Volkswagen, are being tested in dynamometers to measure the emissions (pollution control) and other general performance data. 

Emission Pollution discharged into the atmosphere from smokestacks, other vents, and surface areas of commercial or industrial facilities from residential chimneys and from motor vehicles, locomotives, or air craft exhausts. 

In recent years the sulfur dioxide content of the air has risen, and so also have the nitrogen dioxide levels. This is due to increased use of fossil fuels and the fact that oxides of nitrogen are produced when some fuels and other materials burn in petrol engines. Catalytic converters on car exhausts help to reduce the amount of the oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide in the air, and so help to lower car emission pollution . 

The improved forecast techniques can be used in two ways. Firstly, it can be the short-term episode forecasts for the next few days. Secondly, it is an integrated modelling system for long-term air quality management to predict future episodic pollution levels, taking into account estimated trends in local traffic and other emissions. In both ways the modelling system can be employed to evaluate alternative scenarios and to develop efficient strategies to reduce emissions, pollution levels, and PE to prevent health consequences in a cost-effective way. 

A study by the Association of Plastics Manufacturers in Europe (APME) assessed the environmental impacts of mechanical and feedstock recycling and energy recovery of waste plastics. It was compared in terms of consumption of resomces and environmental emission pollution potential. The criteria of consumption of energetically exploitable resources and contribution to the greenhouse effect lead to the following order of preference for feedstock recycling and energy recovery processes ... 

Among non-precious metals, copper-chromium combinations seem to be the most effective catalysts for CO exhaust elimination. For example, monoliths and pellets impregnated with copper-chromite have been reported to have activities near those of precious metal-based auto-emission control catalysts (ref. 1,2). This comparison has also been extended to the oxidation of CO with NO (ref. 3,4), another important auto-emission pollutant. 

Measured by the amounts of emissions polluting the air, the chemical industry occupies the third position after energy production and transportation, however, it is at the top of the list as regards the toxicity and mutagenicity of exhalates. 

In the case of road transport it is not possible to conceive any substitute for motor vehicles. Motor vehicles are used to a huge extent for collective transport, individual transport and freight. They deteriorate the quality of the environment in cities with dense traffic. At the present time, in industrially developed countries, motor vehicles contribute more than 50%-to the amounts of anthropogenic gaseous emissions polluting the atmosphere. In certain big cities and industrial agglomerations, this contribution exceeds 90%.

Cons (1) The emission pollution to the environment (CO2, NOx, SO2, Hg, etc.) leads to global warming, acid rain, and smog. 

Coal mine gas (called Coal bed Gas) is a kind of associated gas from the coal seam in coal mine exploitation process in different forms, which is one of the main reasons of the coal mine accident. As the first fatal factor in coal mine, the gas accident not only causes a large number of casualties and huge economic losses, and imperils the safety of coal mine production seriously once it occurs. Gas concerns the major issues of environmental pollution, the greenhouse effect and the future of new energy. It can be used after recovered rapidly if the coal mine gas develops, storages and transports high-efficiently in moderate environment. Meanwhile it will be reduced that the cost, the hidden safety trouble and the gas emission pollution to the environment. Thus it is badly in need of a new type of gas utilization technology to make up for the current technical defects. Hydrate method is an optional way. 

In the improvement of DNPDOH (2,2-dinitro-1,3-propanediol) [66], used sodium nitrite was reduced from 4 times to the equal amount, the amounts of sodium persulfate and potassium ferricyanide were adjusted, which reduced the impact of carbon emission pollution on the environment, and the cost of synthesis was reduced. The synthesis yield was 68 % after improvement, and lower than the production cost is much lower than that of silver nitration method. Major improvement in electrochemical synthesis of DNPOH is that In the first step, sodium hydroxide solution was added to an aqueous solution of 2-nitropropanol after 45 min of stirring at room temperature, lithium perchlorate solution and sodium nitrite solution were added to prepare the deprotonated 2-nitropropanol solution in the second step, deprotonated 2-nitro-propanol solution is added into the working electrode chamber and the reference electrode chamber of the electrolytic cell, and electrolytic reaction is continued for about 1 h under nitrogen for 20 min. Finally DNPOH will be obtained with a yield of about 40 %. The reaction mechanism is ... 

The focus of todays R D projects in the automotive industry lies in the improvement of lightweight design, product quality impression, comfort and life cycle cost as well as noise emission, pollution and safety, whereas the latter are especially driven by legal requirements. 

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published standards for LCA. LCA compares environmental performance of products in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, pollution generation, waste generation, energy consumption, water consumption, and other resource consumption. LCA compares these items in terms of a measurable quantity of the products. 

The environmental impacts of recycling can be found by accounting or the accumulation of waste, CO2 emissions pollution during each step in the recycling process.
