Air pollution is undoubtedly a major challenge with implications of human and animal health, safety and food quality. With increasing industrialization, researchers are engaged in finding new ways to understand, measure, monitor and mitigate air pollution, and this book offers the reader a range of innovative research studies on key topics. Part one offers some new perspectives on air quality, and includes discussions of new assessment tools for evaluation of VOC abatement technologies, and a study of air pollution by particulate matter in livestock buildings. Part two turns to questions of monitoring and modelling, and includes a study of methods for estimating pollution and its effects in Japanese cities. Part three reviews new developments in air pollution studies. The contributors discuss their findings on topics including air pollution exposure during pregnancy, air quality during the Beijing Olympics, and molecular markers associated with the biological response to aromatic hydrocarbons. Finally, part three offers perspectives on air pollution through topics including mitigating heat island effect in Tehran, and a case study of the relationships between air pollution and mortality due to cardiovascular disease. This wide-ranging and thoroughly researched volume will be essential for readers interested in developments in air pollution studies.
