Air Pollution XVII (Wit Transactions on Ecology and the Environment)

Air Pollution XVII (Wit Transactions on Ecology and the Environment)

Air pollution is one of the most challenging problems facing the
international community; it is widespread and growing in importance and has clear and known impacts on health and the environment. The rate of
development of the global economy brings new pressures and the willingness of governments to regulate air pollution is often balanced by concerns over
the economic impact of such regulation. Science is the key to identifying the nature and scale of air pollution impacts and is essential in the formulation of relevant information for regulatory decision-making.

This book contains the proceedings of the Seventeenth Annual Meeting in the successful series of International Conferences dealing with Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution. The conference brought together researchers who are active in the study of air contaminants to exchange information through the presentation and discussion
of papers dealing with the wide variety of topics, including: Air Pollution Modelling; Energy and Air Quality; Air Quality Management; Urban Air Management; Effects of Air Pollution on Ecosystems; Emission studies; Historical Air Pollution and Forensic Studies; Monitoring and measuring; Global and Regional Studies; Aerosols and Particles; Climate Change and Air Pollution; Indoor Air Pollution; Environmental Health Effects; Policy Studies; Techniques for Atmospheric Pollutant Reduction; Pollution Prevention; Pollution in Developing Countries.

Handbook on Environmental Quality (Environmental Research Advances Series)

Handbook on Environmental Quality (Environmental Research Advances Series)

Environmental quality is a general term which can refer to varied characteristics that relate to the natural environment as well as the built environment, such as air and water purity, pollution, noise and the potential effects that they may have on physical and mental health. The natural environment is contrasted with the built environment, which comprises the areas and components that are strongly influenced by humans. A geographical area is regarded as a natural environment if the human impact on it is kept under a certain limited level. This book presents research on a wide variety of environmental concerns in today’s world. Included are chapters on renewable energy technology, water quality, recycling of electronic equipment, and corporate environmental commitment. The attitudes of university students toward environmental concerns are also discussed as well as a study that empirically examines local land use planning capacity for mitigating environmental hazards.
