Clean air – technical possibilities and economic consequences . Starting from the historical development of measures for maintaining clean air in the course of the industrial revolution, the article outlines advances in dust removal which have been accomplished in close, trusting cooperation between legislature, experts and plant operators. The interactions between mankind, technically modified and natural environment, and atmosphere, which have arisen as a consequence of the growth in population, are described and an attempt is made to assign the principal contaminants in the atmosphere to their causers on a global and a national basis. The relationship between rational use of energy and clean air maintenance becomes clear. Additive and integrated air purification procedures are explained with the aid of environmental protection measures adopted in coal‐fired power plant and the costs of excessively low emission level demands pointed out. Examples of gas purification plant in the cellulose industry and the printing trade illustrate the possibilities offered by recycling.
