Any processes which utilize combustion, industrial chemicals (substances that undergo chemical reactions and may release vapor/fumes/gases in the process) or produce large amounts of dust have the potential to generate air emissions. Potential air pollutants may include carbon monoxide, lead, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), PM (particulate matter) and sulfur dioxide.
