This paper deals with the more important aspects of air pollution, stressing the role of the engineer in its control. The three basic criteria of atmospheric pollution - the source, the meteorological conditions and the effects of pollution - are discussed, and, with these in mind, consideration is given to air pollution in Alberta. Finally, a program for air quality control is proposed. Introduction Air pollution is a complex and pervasive problem. However, it is the intent of this paper to point out some of the more important aspects of atmospheric contamination, particularly the role of the petroleum and chemical engineer in an air resource management program.
