Question

what will happen in the area surrounding the industry whose electrostatic precipitator stop functioning ?

Answer 1

Dear student,
Electrostatic precipitator serves to remove 99% of particulate matter present in exhaust from industries. If it stops working, the particulate matter will be released in air. Particulates are inhaled along with air and cause lung infections and inflammations. It also results in respiratory disorders and premature deaths of people living in the nearby areas.
Regards.
