It begins with fundamentals of the atmosphere and its relevance for air quality before moving logically to prediction and observation and air quality in real world global cities. The book concludes with a review of the impact and management of air quality and provides possible solutions. Chapters are designed to be read sequentially or independently for just in time learning in this complex and interdisciplinary field.
This is an excellent resource for students, researchers and professionals in the field of air quality or air pollution.
- Provides a comprehensive work that brings together fundamental science, applications and impacts of air quality
- Includes up-to-date material supported by research, along with a grounding in fundamental concepts
- Presents datasets and modeling outputs to support concepts
- Covers solutions and problems in each chapter
Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, senior researchers and university educators in departments of atmospheric science, meteorology, engineering, and environment, Operational centers and other non-academic organizations including policy-facing, Staff with responsibility for model development could use the book as a reference on the state of knowledge
