Preventing of disasters - pollution

The UK – Air pollution– main question

Research question

What are the key factors contributing to the absence of practical plans for mitigating air pollution through large building heating systems, and how can these obstacles be overcome to develop effective strategies?

Can Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) systems, proven to be effective in mitigating air pollution from power stations and industries, be adapted and utilized for large buildings in the UK as a practical solution for reducing air pollution?
