The control of the emission of various contaminants into the environment which brings down the level of the pollution is done by various updated methods. The various technologies which control the pollution are laser methods, chemical methods, nanotechnology etc. The Pollution control equipment can reduce emissions by cleaning exhaust and dirty air. The various control equipment are bag houses or fabric filters, absorbers, electrostatic precipitators, catalytic oxidizers etc.

There are various technologies used in industrial processes and transportation to control pollution. The technologies for particulate emission control are gravity settling chambers, centrifugal separators, particulate wet scrubbers etc. The use of sensors in the control of pollution has become a wide range application. Sensors detect the pollution in the respective area where it is placed and controls over there.

Process modification is a popular technique to control air pollution. Major efforts are underway in all industries to modify processes to reduce pollution.  For example, new oxy furnaces are being developed by Libbey Owens Ford in Toledo to reduce ozone emissions during glass manufacturing.
