Note: Fundamentals of Air Pollution is an important and widely used textbook in the environmental science and engineering community. Written shortly after the passage of the seminal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the third edition was quite timely. Surprisingly, the text has remained relevant for university professors, engineers, scientists, policy makers and students up to recent years. However, in light of the transition in the last five years from predominantly technology-based standards (maximum achievable control technologies or MACTs) to risk-based regulations and air quality standards, the text must be updated significantly. The fourth edition will be updated to include numerous MACTs which were not foreseen during the writing of the third edition, such as secondary lead (Pb) smelting, petroleum refining, aerospace manufacturing, marine vessel loading, ship building, printing and publishing, elastomer production, offsite waste operations, and polyethylene terephthalate polymer and styrene-based thermoplastic polymers production. Overall, revisions will reflect the numerous changes in the understanding of air pollution and the development of new technologies that has occurred in the past twelve years. * Focuses on the process of risk assessment, management and communication, the key to the study of air pollution. * Provides the latest information on the technological breakthroughs in environmental engineering since last edition * Updated inforamtion on computational and diagnostic and operational tools that have emerged in recent years , Part I: Air Pollution Essentials -- The History of Air Pollution. -- The Natural versus Polluted Atmosphere -- The Philosophy of Air Pollution Control -- Sources of Air Pollution -- Part II: The Risks of Air Pollution -- Effects on Human Health and Welfare -- Effects on Vegetation and Animals. Effects on Materials and Structures -- Effects on the Atmosphere, Soil, and Water Bodies -- Long-Term Effects on the Planet -- Part III: Measurement and Monitoring of Air Pollution -- Atmospheric Chemistry -- Ambient Air Sampling -- Federal Reference Methods (FRM) -- Ambient Air Pollutants: Analysis and Measurement -- Air Pollution Monitoring and Surveillance -- Air Pathways from Hazardous Waste Sites -- Part IV: The Meteorology of Air Pollution -- The Physics of the Atmosphere -- The Meteorological Bases of Atmospheric Pollution -- Air Pollution Climatology -- Part V: Modeling Air Pollution -- Modeling Approaches -- Fate and Transport of Air PollutantsModeling Exposures -- Computational Fluid Dynamics (first principles) -- Scale and Time -- Part VI: The Regulatory Control of Air Pollution: -- Air Quality Criteria and Standards -- Indoor Air Quality -- The U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 -- Emission Standards -- The Elements of Regulatory Control -- Organizations for Air Pollution Control -- International Air Pollution Control -- Part VII: The Engineering Control of Air Pollution: -- Engineering Control Concepts -- Control Devices and Systems -- Control of Stationary Sources -- Control of Mobile Sources -- Point of Use and Control of Indoor Sources -- Source Sampling and Monitoring -- Chapter References -- Suggested Reading -- Questions -- Subject Index
