80 AIR POLLUTION SOURCES

Part 1. Pollutant Emissions (continued)

Pollutant types Sources and abundance Abatement and control

have served quite well in the past years in the

prevention of famine and disease. However, it must

be realized that some pesticides, especially

chlorinated hydrocarbons, are metabolized very

slowly thus, accumulate in adipose tissue. DDT for

example, has been shown to cause tumors in

laboratory animals.

Production of pesticides is estimated at

1.1  109 lbs.

Control and abatement during

production:

Venting of solid emissions through bag

houses and cyclones

Venting of liquid emissions through

liquid scrubbers.
