Air Pollution: A Comprehensive Perspective

Description

InTeOp, 2012. — 399 p. — ISBN: 9535107057, 9789535107057.This book gives an overview of key issues in air pollution. Reviews and research papers describe air pollution in a variety of context, such as: evolution of air pollutant, urban structure effects, exposure in agriculture, surface ozone monitoring, the respiratory diseases impacts, appropriate technology, and response management to the air pollution.The links between air pollutants and health impacts are many and complex. The environmental health community is being challenged to take stronger mitigation to respect population health and is taking opportunities to further their implication. Recognizing, observing, and analyzing exposures are a promising way forward, but also raise a myriad of new challenges and questions, including what such approaches are, when and how they can put into practice, and what their implications are for protecting human health.Contents Current Characteristic of Air Pollutants Old and New Air Pollutants: An Evaluation on Thirty Years Experiences Urban Structure and Air Quality Particulate Matter Exposure in Agriculture Pollutants and Greenhouse Gases Emissions Produced by Tourism Life Cycle: Possible Solutions to Reduce Emissions and to Introduce Adaptation Measures Air Pollution Monitoring and Health Effects Time Series Analysis of Surface Ozone Monitoring Records in Kemaman, Malaysia Particulate Air Pollutants and Respiratory Diseases Air Pollution and Death Due to Cardiovascular Diseases (Case Study: Isfahan Province of Iran) Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Surface Ozone in Urban Area: A Multilevel and Structural Equation Model Approach Air Pollution Management and Prediction Non-Thermal Plasma Technic for Air Pollution Control Environmental Control and Emission Reduction for Coking Plants Mitigating Urban Heat Island Effects in Tehran Metropolitan Area Managing Emergency Response of Air Pollution by the Expert System Contribution of the Compressed Air Energy Storage in the Reduction of GHG - Case Study: Application on the Remote Area Power Supply System Advances in Spatio-Temporal Modeling and Prediction for Environmental Risk Assessment
