The rapid industrialisation of countries in the developing world has meant that these countries are now facing the same challenges relating to air pollution as the West did fifty to a hundred years ago. Moreover, the increased migration of populations to urban areas and the growth of mega cities indicates a pressing need to understand how air pollution in urban areas can be measured and controlled.
This book describes the techniques currently available for monitoring air pollution, and the analytical and computational systems that have been developed in recent decades to model and reduce air pollution on a large and small scale, making reference to a number of urban, rural, agricultural and industrial case studies in different parts of the world. The book also describes studies done to assess the effects of air pollution on human, animal and plant health, and will also discuss the issue of global warming and the consequences of air pollution for the economy.
This book will be useful for both students and researchers, and for decision-makers in the public and private sector.
