Fundamentals of Air Pollution

Fundamentals of Air Pollution offers an extensive study of the science of air pollution. With a highly interdisciplinary approach, the author examines air pollution through the lenses of chemistry, physics, meteorology, engineering, toxicology, regulation, and more. Students, faculty, and researchers alike will find a world of information in this comprehensive text. The book is strategically organized into six parts: Foundations of Air Pollution, The Risks of Air Pollution, Tropospheric Pollution, Biogeochemistry of Air Pollutants, Addressing Air Pollution, and The Future for Air Pollution Science and Engineering. Readers will find helpful features throughout the chapters, including case studies, topical sidebars, worked examples, calculations, and reference data among other features. This valuable resource offers an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of air pollution with a wealth of benefits to both students and researchers.

• A systems approach to air pollution helps readers understand the physical, chemical, biological, and engineering underpinning of any air quality topic
• New sidebars and examples of emerging problems to help readers apply skills needed to address air pollution
• Critical equations, symbology, and glossary useful for anyone who reads the Federal Register, state and province and national standards and guidelines, and journal articles
