Air Pollution: Measurement and Management - by Steven Scott (Hardcover)

About the Book

Air pollution refers to the introduction of harmful substances into the atmosphere, posing risks to both human health and the environment. These substances, known as pollutants, originate predominantly from anthropogenic sources, industrial activities and combustion of fossil fuels. Air pollution measurement and management involve assessing and controlling harmful substances in the air to protect human health and the environment. Measurement methods include monitoring stations that track levels of pollutants like particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and ozone. These stations use scientific instruments to collect data on air quality over time and across different locations. Management strategies focus on reducing emissions from sources such as vehicles, industries and power plants. This includes using cleaner technologies, enforcing regulations on pollutant levels and promoting sustainable practices. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of air pollution measurement and management. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core subjects of environmental science. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this field.
