Air pollution can be controlled by two fundamental approaches: preventive techniques and effluent control.
Using proper equipment to remove pollutants from the flue gases through scrubbers, closed-collection recovery systems, use of dry and wet collectors, filters, electrostatic precipitators etc.
Building higher smoke-stacks facilitates the discharge of pollutants as far away from the ground as possible.
Industries should be carefully located to minimize the effects of pollution considering the topography and wind directions.
Substitution of high-sulfur coal with low sulphur coal results in a substantial pollution reduction.
Use alternative energy sources like CNG and solar energy in vehicles
Reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Improve the engines of automobiles
Increase the use of renewable energy.
Reduce the emission of toxic gases from vehicles by using unleaded petrol.
