Different air pollutants are emitted from various sources. Different countries, in general, have their implementing rules and regulations that manage and control the emission of these pollutants. The following table shows the air pollutants emitted at different sources in Kansas and how these pollutants are controlled and regulated.

The Idling Reduction Rule presents emergency actions to control the air pollutant levels in the Kansas. it applies to heavy-duty diesel vehicles. (Idling Reduction Rule Johnson and Wyandotte Counties in Kansa, 1) Meanwhile, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Tailoring Rule requires industries and facilities to submit a fact sheet that will provide information on sources that highly contribute to the emission of air pollutants. (Kansas State University’s Pollution Prevention Institute, 1)
The United State Environmental Protection Agency, on the other hand, designed the State Implementation Plan (SIP) which encourages the state to create a program that will regulate and control the air pollutant emissions particularly on the industrial sources. (EPA)
Lastly, the amended Kansas Administrative Regulation (K.A.R.) 28-19-750 of Kansas Department of Health and Environment specifies an action which disseminate the “national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for existing stationary spark ignition reciprocating internal combustion engines (SI RICE)”. (Kansas Department of Health and Environment, 13) It also proposed technologies in which pollutant emissions can be controlled that will result to the reduction of carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides (NOx).(KDHE, 13-14)
