Efforts to reduce
air emissions—particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NOx),
sulphur oxides (SOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)—are supported by capital
investments, integration of cost-effective technologies and
innovative operating practices.
Regular monitoring of our
emissions to air from all of our sites is a part of environmental
management at Avient.
While conventional
air emissions are a critical and a highly-influential topic in
some industrial sectors, as a specialty formulator of purchased
materials, Avient’s conventional air emission levels from legacy
operations are de minimis and not material.

From water and air
quality management to energy and traffic efficiency, 5G
has the potential to act as an enabler of environmental
sustainability and public health.
Cities have the opportunity to install
air quality monitoring stations that measure pollutants
and particulates at a street level.
5G can also help intelligent traffic signals with dynamic
functioning, improving the efficiency of traffic flows and
thereby help protect air quality and congestion.
PolyOne’s Onflex™ Lo TPE and Maxxam™ engineered
material formulations are used for interior HVAC air
flaps, trays, console carrier and instrument panels, and
related interior parts.

Double-acting gates can open and close using
independently controlled air cylinders.
The vent is the clearance between two
surfaces through which air can escape.
The vent
land is the distance air travels through the vent.
