8.The atmosphere，like a stream or a river，has natural，built-in self-cleansing processes
without which the troposphere would quickly become unlivable for humans。

Most of the air-pollution-control devices discussed in this chapter，for both stationary and mobile source，make use of some of the principles involved in the natural atmospheric cleansing processes。

（34页）
大气，像溪流或河流一样，有着天然的、内置的自我净化过程，如果没有这些过程，对流层将很快变得对人类不可行。

清洁过程。

9.When the various and sundry natural atmospheric cleansing mechanisms are overwhelmed
by gaseous and particulate emissions，the effects of air pollution become increasingly more evident。

Clothing is soiled，particles are deposited on buildings and other surfaces，plants are damaged，visibility is reduced，and human respiratory problems are increased。

To prevent these and other evidence of air pollution，it is necessary to establish control procedures or to install control devices。

But even with the application of the best available technology，low-level emission must ultimately be removed by natural atmospheric cleansing mechanisms。

（35页）
当各种各样的天然大气净化机制被气体和颗粒物的排放压倒时，空气污染的影响变得越来越明显。

new processes，and new approaches，as well as modifications of old approaches，are the order of the day。

The image today is no longer that of the “large concrete basins”，but one of a series of closely integrated unit operations。

These operations both physical and chemical in nature，must be tailored for each individual wastewater。

The chemical engineer’s skill in integrating these unit operations into effective processes makes him admirably qualified to design wastewater treatment facilities。

（56页）？
对于物理化学处理的精确定义，存在一些猜想。
