Health and Environmental Effects of Ambient Air Pollution is part of a series of three volumes of Air Pollution, Adverse Effects, and Epidemiological Impact. Volume 1 discusses the adverse consequences of ambient air pollutants on human health, animals, plants, and structures.The book covers the foundation and sources of the production of ambient air pollutants in the environment. It classifies the ambient air pollutants affecting human health. It examines the effects of toxic ambient air pollutants in waste facilities. The book also looks at epidemiology studies, estimating health and cost effects, air quality indices, guidelines, standards, and information networks of ambient air pollutants
- Takes an interdisciplinary approach discusses both causes of ambient air pollution and the toxicological impact on human health
- Covers the health risk assessment of ambient air with an emphasis on the elements, exposure, and risk management
- Examines air quality management and other ambient air pollution solutions
