About this title

Synopsis

This comprehensive and up-to-date textbook discusses fundamental aspects of air pollution with the help of solved and case examples within the chapter and review questions at the end of each chapter. The textbook discusses in depth the entire domain of air pollution, from the fundamentals, sources, types, effects, associated risks, ecology, meteorology, climatology, sampling, monitoring and instrumentation, laboratory quality control, data analysis and interpretation, modelling, control technologies and indoor air pollution, to the latest principles of air quality management and legislation, regulations and standards.

This book:

Covers fundamentals of air pollution, the atmosphere, air pollution meteorology, effects and control of air pollution
Discusses engineering aspects of air quality management and includes concepts of ecology, growth, and sustainable development in the context of air pollution
Explains air pollution mitigation philosophies, legislation, regulations, and standards
Comprehensively discusses topics including air quality monitoring, sampling, air quality modelling and air quality data analysis
Includes case examples for better understanding of the topics and solution manual for the benefit of instructors

The text will be useful for senior undergraduate and post-graduate students in the fields of science and engineering. Pedagogical features including solution manual will be uploaded on the website.
