Book Description

Air Pollution is one of the most challenging problems facing the international community; it is widespread and growing in importance and has clear and known impacts on health and the environment. The rate of development of the global economy brings new pressures and the willingness of governments to regulate air pollution is often balanced by concerns over the economic impact of such regulation. Science is the key to identifying the nature and scale of air pollution impacts and is essential in the formulation of policies for regulatory decision-making.

The Seventeenth Annual Meeting in the successful series of International Conferences dealing with Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution discussed papers dealing with a wide variety of topics, including: Air Pollution Modelling; Air Management and Policy; Emission Studies; Monitoring and Measuring; Aerosols and Particles; Air Pollution Effects and Environmental Health; Global and Regional Studies; Pollution Effects and Reduction.
