Abstract: Management decisions involving the locations of industrial pollution sources and remediation often depend on optimisation techniques to obtain an effective air quality control strategy. This paper presents the implementation of derivative-free optimisation method to determine feasible air pollution control policy. The gaseous pollutants and fine particulate pollutants in the air will be numerically investigated separately. The locations of industrial pollutant sources and pollutant emission reduction percentage for five chemical plants are chosen as the decision variables. Lastly, we provide four cases to investigate how to effectively control air quality.
