Systems approach toward nationwide air-pollution control II. The technical requirements

The general configuration for air-pollution control systems that was outlined in Part I will impose certain requirements upon system components-including hardware (sensors, data processors, communications), software (air quality laws, emission regulations, data processing, simulation programs), and of course the organization and the people who staff it. Most important of all, and surely the most costly, will be the gas-cleaning equipment, process controls, and operating changes that are required of industry, institutions, and private individuals. The means of implementing the systems functions described in Part I (Oct. IEEE Spectrum) will be considered here.
