Solutions for Industrial Pollution Control in Zambia: An Environmental Engineering Framework

Industrial pollution is a significant environmental challenge in Zambia, affecting both air quality and water resources. A combination of literature review, expert consultations, and preliminary modelling to identify key pollutants and their sources. Preliminary analysis identified the top three industrial sectors contributing to sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions at a rate of 40% in urban areas. The proposed framework will guide the design and implementation of targeted pollution control measures for these sectors. Implement real-time monitoring systems, enforce emission standards, and promote technological innovations to reduce SO2 levels.
