Request a sales quoteAir Quality Modelling and its Applications in Environmental Management provides information about air pollution and health impacts using modeling to illustrate observed features of air pollution, manage air pollution episodes, and understand the health impacts and co-benefits of air pollution mitigation. After a brief overview, the book works though a comprehensive analysis of different applications, including dust, acid rain, ozone sources and aerosol sources. This section also considers secondary aerosol sources and aerosol microphysics. The editors then explore adaptive grids in air quality modeling as well as modeling biogenic sources of air pollution.
The book wraps up with an examination of chemical data assimilation and health risk assessment. This text expertly integrates air quality modeling and its applications towards a better understanding of the essential role of air quality modelling in air pollution management and health risk assessment.
- Appeals to interdisciplinary readers in atmospheric modeling, atmospheric chemistry, environmental engineering and environmental health
- Investigates the links amongst air quality modeling, air pollution control and environmental health
- Provides an-depth discussion of the connections between air pollution and related health impacts
Practitioners, researchers, and graduate students in atmospheric sciences, civil and environmental engineering, and environmental health, Professionals working in environmental protection agencies or specializing in atmospheric chemistry, air pollution, or environmental health
