Summary
This specialised subject is oriented on protecting the outer components of the atmosphere. It deals with the basics of chemicals in the atmosphere and the conditions causing the dispersion of harmful substances in the atmosphere,
pollution control, by catching hard particles, through methods of reducing sulphur oxide and nitrogen in burning, by treating waste gas from industrial sources. The emphases is based on technical solutions, above all on the designing and construction of equipment.
