Air Pollution

In addition to the 189 chemicals listed in the air toxins category of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, smog, acid rain, and global warming are all concerns arising from air pollution. Whether these are considered threats to the health of humans in particular or the overall ecosystem, the problem of air pollution is manifest. Air Pollution addresses the sources and results of this problem. It surveys all aspects of management, including dispersion modeling, emission measurements, air quality and continuous emission monitoring, remote sensing and stack sampling. In addition, the book explores methods of reduction and control, with particular attention to gaseous emission control and odor control. Air Pollution is a useful guide for engineers, students or anyone working for environmental protection. TOC:Pollutants: Sources, Effects, and Dispersion Modeling. Air Quality. Pollutants: Minimization and Control. Fugitive Emissions: Sources and Controls. Odor Control. Indoor Air Pollution.
