Environmental protection measures
Pollution control refers to methods and regulations aimed at reducing or eliminating contaminants released into air, water, or soil.
The term covers both technical measures—filters, scrubbers, treatment plants—and policy frameworks like emission standards and environmental laws.
The factory installed new pollution control equipment to meet federal requirements.
Industries speak of pollution control as distinct from pollution prevention, which aims to avoid creating waste in the first place.
