Air Pollution Resulted from Coal, Oil and Gas Firing in Thermal Power Plants and Treatment: A Review (original) (raw)

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science

Abstract

Air pollution is a worldwide and a local issue caused by energy generation. It refers to global warming deterioration in human environmental health and local-global sustainability. This review provides information on the generation and consumption of energy with their air pollution mixture of many pollutants; gases, liquids and particles. These pollutants have become one of the leading environmental hazards to human and planet health. The components of pollutants that result from burning fossil fuels (oil and gas) and coal have been studied, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particles. Both sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides interact with water to produce acid rain. Both gas and oil-fired thermal power plants emission today and in the future might be transformed to work on renewable energy sources. The results stated that gas-fired power plants are more generally faster efficient, less pollution than oil and coal power plants. A complete assessment of exhau...
