The 4th edition of the bestselling Air Quality is an informative guide to ozone-destroying chemicals, greenhouse gases, and dangerous airborne substances. The practical resource provides a comprehensive overview of air quality issues, and enables readers to gain a better understanding of atmospheric chemistry, as well as the effects of pollution on public health and the environment, and the technology and regulatory practices used to achieve air quality goals.
This is an important reference in a time when air pollution control experts are faced with urgent issues regarding air quality. This thorough, updated reference covers the fundamental concepts as well as emerging trends, and also contains new sections that cover toxicological principles and risk assessment. The book also contains revised discussions on public policy concerns, with a focus on air quality standards for ozone depletion and global warming, and the health effects of particulate air pollutants.
This edition continues to serve as a very readable text for advanced level undergraduate and early graduate study in environmental science, environmental management, and in programs related to the study of public health, industrial hygiene, and pollution control. 460 pp.
