✦ Synopsis

There are several different control techniques that can be applied to control air pollution emissions. In this paper, a mixed integer linear program that determines the best selection strategy is illustrated. The objective of the program is to minimize the total control cost consisting of operating and investment costs. Various constraints are imposed on the model including a prescribed pollution reduction level and maximum budget available for investment. The model gives the optimum set of control options along with their optimum set-up times. The use of the model in pollution control decision making is illustrated using a representative case study.

A nonpoint pollution control approach is suggested when: (i) there is no oneto-one correspondence between emission and ambient levels of the pollutant because of the effect of random variables, and (ii) the emissions of several polluters may affect the ambient levels and it is not possible to separa

A new method is presented to determine the optimum number and location of monitoring stations in an air pollution network. The selection of the monitoring stations is based on the spatial representativity of the sites. In particular, the spatial coecient of the correlation between the pollutant conc
