Finally, make sure that machines that generate lots of pollution only run when they are needed. Turn off your generators when your energy storage gets full. Use the [[#Measuring Pollution|Pollution Detection Device]] to control passive production if it is polluting too much. Overclock your machines to a higher energy tier so that they complete their work faster, and generate less pollution in that time!

=== Removing Pollution ===

So you let your MEBFs run overnight, cheaped out on mufflers, or had a machine explosion or two, and now you can't see three feet in front of you because of the smog. What now? You could wait for the pollution to go away on its own, but that would mean stopping that MEBF and wasting precious production time. Fortunately, there are better and faster ways of removing pollution quickly: single block Pollution Scrubbers, and multiblock Electric Air Filters.

==== Pollution Scrubbers ====

The first pollution removal machine is the Pollution Scrubber. Note that much like many other single block machines they change name as they go higher in tiers (Pollution Scrubber -- Air Recycler -- Atmospheric Cleaner -- Biosphere Cleanser), they exist all the way up to UHV.
