Industrial air pollution refers to air contamination due to activities and processes specific to industrial operations. This type of pollution is distinct from other sources, such as indoor air pollutants. Industrial pollution often involves emissions from manufacturing, processing plants, and other large-scale industrial activities.
These emissions can include harmful chemicals and particulate matter that contribute significantly to outdoor air pollution. While indoor air quality control is a concern due to pollutants like dust, household chemicals, and mould, industrial pollution typically impacts broader outdoor environments. It is subject to more complex regulation and control.
