E-raamat: Air Pollution XXI

Scientists from around the world present recent research results in 25 papers on modeling air pollution, monitoring and measuring, aerosols and particles, emission studies, regional studies, and air pollution problems in Thailand. Among the topics are the association of weather and air pollution interactions with daily mortality in 12 Canadian cities, levels of particular matter in the western United Arab Emirate desert and factors affecting their distribution, particle formation in the planetary boundary layer over Tokyo and its suburban areas, emission tests of the F100-PW-229 turbine jet engine during pre-flight verification of the F-16 aircraft, an air quality study for the Montenegro Pljevlja area, and enhancing public participation in air pollution management from coal-fired power plant projects in Thailand.

Containing papers presented at the twenty-first in a successful series of conferences on the modelling, monitoring and management of air pollution, the book Air Pollution XXI covers what has become a widespread and growing challenge to the international community. Governments face a need to balance concern over its known impacts on local and global health and the environment with improving or maintaining economic development. The key to achieving that balance is to use science to identify the nature and scale of air pollution impacts and to formulate effective policies and regulations. As our knowledge and application of the science of air pollution improves, we are better able to predict, assess and mitigate the implications air pollution has for local, regional, national and international economic systems.The papers deal in the book treat advances in a wide variety of topics, including: Air pollution modelling; Monitoring and measuring; Air quality management; Indoor air pollution; Aerosols and particles; Emission Studies; Air pollution chemistry; Source identification; Global and regional studies; Exposure and health Effects; Economics of air pollution control; Policy and legislation; Case studies; Innovative technologies.
