1.1 Nature of pollutants
Fumes are, by definition, gaseous discharges from combustion (heating, transport, incineration...) emitted into the atmosphere. They consist mainly of nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O)g. However, in fumes and gaseous emissions, we encounter dust as well as compounds in lower concentrations, or even in trace amounts: sulfur and nitrogen oxides, metals, dioxins and furans, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)....
The main families of air pollutants produced by flue gases can be classified according to their quantitative emission monitoring (CORINAIR system for the European Union) and their impact on the environment
