This new edition continues to cover the wide range of air quality issues in an accessible style, while retaining a quantitative perspective. Topics covered include the sources and sinks of gaseous and particulate air pollutants, dispersion, measurement, mobile sources, indoor air pollutants, and effects on plants, materials, humans and animals. Moving away from classical toxic air pollutants, there is a chapter on climate change and another on the depletion of stratospheric ozone and the associated increase in ultraviolet radiation. Many global case studies are referred to, demonstrating the application of theory to practice.
