Environmental Systems Science: Theory and Practical Applications

Environmental Systems Science: Theory and Practical Applications looks at pollution and air quality from a systems perspective. With this integrated approach, topics within the study of environmental pollution and quality including air control technology, pollution health effects, pollution engineering, pollutant modeling, sustainable design and effective pollution policy are connected. Key topics within environmental quality are examined taking all of these domains into account, including Bayesian methods applied to air pollutant models, neurotoxic effects of air pollution, removal of aerosols, and ecological impacts of pollution. Environmental Systems Science bridges and integrates all of these variables and elements into a cohesive understanding of environmental quality and how to fully assess efficacy in attempts to improve it. Environmental Systems Science: Theory and Practical Applications is written for researchers and professionals working on climate change in the atmospheric sciences, engineering, chemistry, environmental sciences and data science as well as those in the allied fields including public health, planning and geography whose work is impacted by air quality and pollution. Provides an interdisciplinary approach to effectively evaluating sources and mitigators in environmental pollution including dynamics and monitoring/modellingAssesses prior initiatives in air quality management using an interdisciplinary approach to evaluate what has worked, and whyLays out a holistic understanding of the real impacts behaviors have on the current state of environmental pollution, and how these socio-economic and cultural aspects can be addressed effectivelyWalks readers through the tools from a number of disciplines to assess the current and projected state of environmental quality, connecting the theoretical to the practical INDICE: 1.
