Summary
The subject deals with issues of air protection against unfavourable effects of industrial activity. Influences of individual harmful substances and also consequences of specific industrial technologies and existing possibilities and methods of their elimination are assessed. Attention is paid above all to possibilities of implementation of new technologies, separators, chemical treatment of exhaust gases and supplementary processes.

Subject syllabus:
1. Composition and composition of the atmosphere and its role, importance and protection, distribution of LZO (from a physical point of view, from a chemical point of view, from the origin point of view) and sources of LZO (from a geometric point of view, etc.)
2. Temperature regime of the atmosphere, temperature layer and stability classes (stability, indifference, lability). Vertical temperature gradient.
3. Pressure, basic quantities, barric field and barric formations, atmospheric queues.
