Air quality management during the next few years will include a shift from the traditional
emission control approach to one that emphasizes the prevention of
air quality problems. This will include promoting and enabling the
design and operation of new or modified process technologies that
result in the lowest possible emissions, rather than simply adding
controls to process technologies that emit air pollutants.
A critical area of innovation will be the development of more holistic
approaches to pollution control. Future air quality control approaches
will increasingly adopt a multi-pollutant and, where appropriate,
a cross-media perspective. Other approaches are now being implemented
to control air pollution.
