About the Book

Pollution is widespread throughout the world, and elimination of the risks to human health is of the utmost importance. Air Pollution XIV examines the development of experimental as well as computational techniques to achieve a better understanding of air pollution problems and seek their solutions. This volume contains papers accepted for the Fourteenth International Conference on Air Pollution. Pollution is widespread throughout the world, and elimination of the risks to human health is of the utmost importance. Air Pollution XIV examines the development of experimental as well as computational techniques to achieve a better understanding of air pollution problems and seek their solutions. This volume contains papers accepted for the Fourteenth International Conference on Air Pollution. Papers featuring case studies, particularly those discussing the evaluation of proposed emission techniques and strategies, are included, as well as papers of a more theoretical nature dealing with advanced mathematical and computational methods.Contributions in this volume address current developments in the science and application of air pollution modelling; air quality management; climate change; atmospheric chemistry; urban and rural air pollution issues; emission inventories; transport and air pollution; comparison of model and experimental results; aerosols and particles; monitoring and laboratory studies and indoor pollution.
