| Review: | The aim of this book is to give the reader a firm grasp of the principles that make up the broad field of air quality, its pollution and its management. It begins with the basic definitions of air and types of pollution and follows its history up to the present day, looking at air quality, emissions, standards and classifications of pollutants, and the production of secondary air pollution and photochemical smog. Air pollutant damage to materials and vegetation is also discussed. The author explains how primary pollutants form in industrial and mobile combustion processes, as well as how they are currently controlled. This new edition highlights the improvements that have been made, has a new section on air toxics, new information on chronic and acute health effects, and new approaches to the assessments of those impacts on sensitive populations. |
