What Are Some Common Emission Control Technologies?
Catalytic converters: Used in vehicles to convert harmful gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons into less harmful substances such as carbon dioxide and water. Scrubbers: Used in industrial settings to remove particulates and gases from exhaust streams, often by introducing a liquid that absorbs or reacts with the pollutants. Electrostatic precipitators: Devices that use electrical charges to remove particles from a gas stream, commonly used in power plants.
