Stack Emission refers to the release of pollutants, gases, and particulate matter into the atmosphere from industrial sources, such as power plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities, through stacks or chimneys, which can have detrimental effects on air quality, human health, and the environment, contributing to climate change, acid rain, and other environmental problems, while also posing serious health risks to nearby communities, including respiratory issues, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, due to the inhalation of toxic pollutants, such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and heavy metals, which can also accumulate in soil and water, contaminating ecosystems and affecting wildlife, highlighting the need for stringent regulations, monitoring, and control measures to minimize stack emissions and mitigate their harmful impacts.
