For the purposes of this Section, “air contaminant” means and includes but is not limited to the following: dust, soot, mist, smoke, fumes, fly ash, vapor, corrosive gas or other discharge and any other air borne material or substance that is offensive, nauseous, irritating or noxious to humans or other animal life.

(a) any other county or counties;
(b) any one or more cities, villages or incorporated towns; or
(c) adjoining areas of another State.
The presiding officer of any county board desiring to so contract shall appoint, with the advice and consent of the county board, a committee of no more than 3 of its own members to negotiate the terms and conditions of the proposed contract which shall be subject to approval by the county board. The rules and regulations for air contamination control established pursuant to the terms and conditions of such approved contract shall be adopted by ordinance by each contracting county.
Whenever any county board enters a contract authorized by this Section, that board shall include in the annual appropriation ordinance for each fiscal year, an appropriation of a sum of money sufficient to pay the amount which, by the terms of the contract, is to become due and payable from that county during the current fiscal year.
