Request a sales quoteAir Pollution and Related Health Risks: Investigating Environmental Health and Sustainability provides discussion on advanced atmospheric phenomena as they relate to health risks and environmental sustainability. Sections cover challenges, the carcinogenic effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on the atmosphere, and reviews of microplastics and organic aerosol compositions. The book's editors also complete a micro and macro analysis of PM2.5 and PM10 spatio-temporal properties in the Himalayan environment, and aerosol radiative and health impacts are also explored. Other sections cover wet deposition and scavenging of atmospheric pollutants and a risk assessment of living-non-living airborne particles to human health.
Post-graduates and early-career researchers in atmospheric sciences, geophysics, environmental science, and meteorology will find much to learn and apply in this valuable resource.
- Explores meteorological linkages with air quality and advances in atmospheric science that address considerable changes in local, regional, and global climates
- Provides in-depth explanations of all five climate system components
- Addresses serious worries about climate change and global warming, as well as a full explanation of the basis of these fears
- Includes new, unique content on the troposphere, indoor/outdoor air quality theory, and the structure of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) observations and modeling approaches
Post-graduates and early-career researchers of atmospheric sciences, geophysics, meteorology, and meteorological research. All students studying atmospheric physics as part of atmospheric science, climatology, physics, Earth science, planetary science, or applied mathematics
