1. Change industrial production processes and equipment to reduce air pollution. 
2. Install an effective fume & dust extraction system, to capture exhaust gases and particles at source and vent them outside the factory premises.
3. Install a water treatment plant close to the industrial process as most water-borne pollutants originate from direct discharges from these processes.
4. Switch over to cleaner energy sources by employing renewable energy technology or improving power efficiency in factory operations wherever possible - use of diesel or natural gas for energy production should be minimized/ avoided wherever feasible, since these have higher emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons compared to electricity or gas supplied by utility companies; this could ultimately result in lower emission levels for the industry overall - switch over completely if it’s economically viable, such as adopting solar systems instead of fossil fuels 
5. Regulate exhausts /air outlets/ventilation systems on industrial machines that operate using natural air inflow – use forced ( positive pressure )air circulation instead so that fresh/ uncontaminated air enters through intake vents near roof-top which draws away fumes exhausted within same room thereby effectively confining waste gases capturing them close vicinity & removing pollutants quickly without spilling outside thus reducing emissions markedly; regular maintenance checking helps avoid any malfunction leading unnecessary leakage/excessive contamination .
6 Utilize advanced engineering technologies– use special filters which trap particulate matter downscaled below PPM( parts per million)standard limit requirements enabling further refinement resulting into cleaner surroundings nearby factories .  
7 Create green spaces– plants naturally absorb Carbon dioxide helping slowdown Global warming while creating more oxygenated atmosphere also encouraging better indoor climate along with noise control ; green roof may also be used since it does double duty cooling hot roof surfaces during summer months thus mitigating heat transfer into interior spaces resulting excessive warm atmosphere inside .

To minimize air pollution from factories, the best measures are to reduce emissions from source by utilizing pollution-control technologies and devices such as flue-gas desulfurization systems, fabric filters, catalytic converters and oxidation controls. Flue gases must be collected and treated appropriately and incinerated materials should be regularly checked for proper handling. Emissions should also be monitored regularly using both manual methods like personal sampling or continuous monitoring systems. Finally, workers should also receive appropriate safety training to ensure they work in a safe environment with limited potential of air pollution exposure.
