Environmental and Health Impacts of Nitrogen Dioxide Pollution: Understanding Exposure, Risks, and Mitigation offers a comprehensive examination of nitrogen dioxide (NO¿) as a critical air pollutant, exploring its sources, chemistry, and formation. The book explores the profound human health and environmental consequences associated with NO¿ pollution. The text evaluates the health costs and benefits of reducing NO¿ levels, especially in urban centers, highlighting the positive impacts on community well-being and healthcare costs. Through epidemiological studies, it illustrates the long-term implications of NO¿ exposure on vulnerable populations and addresses the significant environmental impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity. The book highlights innovative approaches, such as utilizing vegetation to reduce urban NO¿ pollution, and examines the interplay between nitrogen dioxide and climate change, projecting future scenarios. Furthermore, it addresses socioeconomic disparities in NO¿ exposure, linking environmental justice to public health equity. The authors advocate for comprehensive mitigation strategies, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and public health initiatives in combating nitrogen dioxide pollution. In summary, this book serves as a vital resource for researchers and professionals, underscoring the urgent need for collaborative efforts to mitigate the impacts of nitrogen dioxide pollution on both human health and the environment.
