Health and Environmental Effects of Ambient Air Pollution: Volume 1: Air Pollution, Human Health, and the Environment

Health and Environmental Effects of Ambient Air Pollution is part of a series of three volumes for Air Pollution, Human Health, and the Environment. Volume 1 discusses the adverse consequences of ambient air pollutants on human health, animals, plants, and structures. This book examines the production of ambient air pollutants in the environment. It begins with an overview of the classifications, sources, and occurrences of outdoor air pollutants. This book covers meteorological, climate, and topographical factors affecting air pollution, discusses how urbanization and industrialization affect air quality, and explores how climate conditions like global warming, acid rain, and airborne particulate matter impact human health. It also looks at epidemiology studies and socioeconomic aspects of outdoor air pollution, estimating health and cost effects, air quality indices, guidelines, standards, and information networks of ambient air pollutants. With contributors from experts in the field, this book is a valuable reference for academicians, researchers, and students in environmental health, public health, and occupational health, as well as environmental engineers, meteorologists, epidemiologists, medical researchers, and environmental toxicologists. Discusses both causes of ambient air pollution and the toxicological impact on human healthCovers the health risk assessment of ambient air with an emphasis on the elements, exposure, and risk managementExamines air quality management and other ambient air pollution solutionsDiscusses the environmental effects of ambient air pollutants like climate change and global warmingExamines the epidemiology studies, estimating health and cost effects INDICE: 1.
