Abstract
An apparatus and method for control and treatment of ammonia (NH.sub.3), oxides of nitrogen (NO.sub.x) or volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted in a gaseous form from various processes where these compounds are used, present or formed. The gaseous emissions may be comprised of NH.sub.3, NO.sub.x or VOC individually or as a mixture of these compounds and other gaseous substances such as air, organic vapors and other organic or inorganic gases. The control and treatment method involves simultaneous liquid scrubbing and biochemical decomposition of NH.sub.3, NO.sub.x or VOC or a combination thereof.
