EMISSION

IS TYPES, BACKGROUND AND EFFECTS

WHAT IS EMISSION ?
EMISSION

The production and discharge of

something, especially gas or
radiation.
THERE ARE MANY SOURCES OF EMISSION

POINT SOURCES

Point sources are localized, large,

stationary sources of air emissions such
as factories, power plants, foundries,
refineries, and chemical plants.

 MOBILE SOURCES
ify
Mobile source air toxins are emitted
from cars, trucks, airplanes, lawn
mowers, and farming equipment.
Mobile sources pollute the air through
combustion and fuel evaporation.

• Emission Test - It is a mandatory test in the

Philippines as part of the car's registration.

• Commercial High-Efficiency Particulate Air

(HEPA) – are effective at removing particulate
matter (PM) found in vehicle exhaust, especially
from diesel trucks.
 BIOGENIC SOURCES

he Biological sources such as plants and

n. animals that emit air pollutants such as
volatile organic compounds. Examples
of biogenic sources include animal •
management operations, and oak and
pine tree forests.

• An Agricultural Waste Management System

(AWMS) - Is a “planned system in which all
necessary components are installed and managed to
control and use byproducts of agricultural
production in a manner that sustains or enhances
the quality of air, water, soil, plant, and animal
resources”.
AREA SOURCES

"Area" sources consist of smaller-size

facilities that release lesser quantities
of toxic pollutants into the air. Area
sources are defined as sources that emit
less than 10 tons per year of a single air
toxic, or less than 25 tons per year of a
combination of air toxics
AREA SOURCES

Air pollutants are substances that

adversely affect the environment by
interfering with climate, the physiology
of plants, animal species, entire
ecosystems, as well as with human
property in the form of agricultural
crops or man-made structures.
