Fundamentals of Air Pollution is an important and widely used textbook in the environmental science and engineering community. This thoroughly revised fifth edition of Fundamentals of Air Pollution has been updated throughout and remains the most complete text available, offering a stronger systems perspective and more coverage of international issues relating to air pollution. Sections on pollution control have been reorganized and updated to demonstrate the move from regulation and control approaches to green and sustainable engineering approaches. The fifth edition maintains a strong interdisciplinary approach to the study of air pollution, covering such topics as chemistry, physics, meteorology, engineering, toxicology, policy, and regulation. New material includes near-road air pollution, new risk assessment approaches, indoor air quality, the impact of biofuels and fuel additives, mercury emissions, forecasting techniques, and the most recent results from the National Air Toxics Assessment. Key Features 。Stronger systems approach, emphasizing the impact of air pollution on ecosystems and human health 。Risks, measures, models, and control of air pollution are discussed at scale - starting at the individual/niche level and expanding to planetary/global scale 。Increased emphasis on international issues, including coverage of European initiatives and discussions of the impact of emerging economies like India and China 。Updated references, standards, and methods throughout the book make this the most current air pollution text/reference on the market 。All new end-of-chapter problems enhance its usefulness as a course text Table Of Contents Part I Foundations of Air Pollution Chapter 1 The State of the Atmosphere Chapter 2 The Science of Air Pollution Chapter 3 Air Pollution Decision Tools Chapter 4 Life Cycle Analysis of Air Pollutants Part II The Risks of Air Pollution Chapter 5 Inherent Properties of Air Pollutants Chapter 6 Hazard Assessment of Air Pollutants Chapter 7 Exposure Assessment of Air Pollutants Chapter 8 Respiratory Effects of Air Pollutants Chapter 9 Cardiovascular Effects of Air Pollutants Chapter 10 Cancer and Air Pollution Chapter 11 Reproductive and Hormonal Effects of Air Pollutants Chapter 12 Neurological Effects of Air Pollutants Chapter 13 Air Pollution’s Impact on Ecosystems Chapter 14 Air Pollution’s Impact on Materials and Structures Part III Tropospheric Pollution Chapter 15 Scale and Complexity of Air Pollution Chapter 16 Kinetics of Air Pollutant Transformation Chapter 17 Air Pollutant Equilibrium and Fate Chapter 18 Air Pollutant Persistence and Bioaccumulation Part IV Biogeochemical Cycling of Air Pollutants Chapter 19 The Hydrologic Cycle Chapter 20 The Carbon Cycle Chapter 21 The Nitrogen and Sulfur Cycles Chapter 22 Metal and Metalloid Cycles Part V Addressing Air Pollution Chapter 23 Source Sampling and Emissions Measurement Chapter 24 Methods for Measuring Air Pollutants Chapter 25 Air Quality Monitoring Chapter 26 Modeling Applications Chapter 27 Air Quality Status and Trends Chapter 28 Air Pollutant Emissions Chapter 29 Air Pollution Control Technologies Part VI The Future for Air Pollution Science and Engineering Chapter 30 Sustainable Approaches Chapter 31 Grand Challenges End Matter Chapter References End Matter Suggested Reading End Matter Subject Index
