Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Pollution in Cities by Fuel Combustion Products.

Air pollution in a typical city with over 1 million inhabitants and with varied industry is considered. An attempt is made to evaluate experimentally the share of participation of all the types of sources of pollution in overall pollution. Taking the city as a whole, the quantities of Co, SO//2, and NO//2 discharged into the atmosphere are in the ratio of 0. 88; 1. 00; 0. 65. At the breathing level this ratio is, however, 94:1:1. The share of transportation exhaust gases in air pollution is respectively, CO - 65%, NO - 48% and SO//2 - 12%. It is found that the share of power plants is disproportionately far below the amount of pollutants that they discharge into the atmosphere. This is due to the height at which they discharge the pollutants.
