Synopsis

Air pollution is a universal problem with consequences ranging from the immediate death of plants and people to gradually declining crop yields and damaging buildings. Air quality issues are occasionally raised to the level of debate by particular incidents. These lead to a surge of research funding and new legislative controls. However the problems of air pollution are constantly with us and in this book we look at the range of air quality issues, old and new, that affect us all. This topical study is a comprehensive survey of all the main air pollution issues accessible to all numerate scientists, whatever their background generously illustrated with clear examples This book is recommended for undergraduate and postgraduate level courses specialising in air pollution, whether from an environmental science or engineering perspective. It will also be of intrest to air pollution specialists in consultancies and local authorities.
