The editors begin with a detailed review of air pollution and its sources, effects, and impacts. In-depth chapters follow on atmospheric chemistry, air pollution meteorology, and take a look at indoor and urban air quality. The editors then explore the connection between air quality and climate change, the effects of CO2 on air quality, and use of carbon capture and storage.
Finally, the book closes with a discussion of environmental policy making as well as future considerations for air pollution, air quality, and climate change. This text is a timely and valuable reference for anyone working towards solutions to reduce air pollution, improve air quality, and lessen the effects of climate change.
- Helps readers understand atmospheric pollutants, exposure assessment, and material damage
- Explores the role of carbon dioxide in air pollution and its effect on air quality
- Provides innovative approaches, new technologies, and strategies to reduce air pollution and improve air quality
Post-graduates, professors, and researchers in Chemical Engineering, Meteorological Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Disaster Science and Engineering, Organizations and institutions whose work relates to air quality, air pollution, environmental engineering, climate change, etc.
