Since 1950 the population of the world has more than doubled, and
the proportion of people living in cities has increased by a factor
of four. In the year 2000 nearly half of the world's population
will live in urban areas. Air pollution has always been one of the
major nuisances of urban living, but in recent decades the sources
of pollution have changed in importance in most of the
industrialised world. Earlier they were dominated by individual
heating systems, industry and local power plants; now they are
mainly related to traffic. Concurrent with this development, the
composition of the pollution has changed; it is now dominated by
nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds and small particles
arising from diesel exhaust.
"Urban Air Pollution - European Aspects" was initiated within the
European Community COST-Citair programme, in which many of the
authors participated. The book presents an up-to-date account of
the situation with special reference to European cities. The
structure of the book follows by and large the logical chain of
events in air pollution, from sources, through dispersion and
deposition, to impacts, with additional chapters on experimental or
computational techniques and regulatory aspects. The target group
is university students at graduate level, but the book should also
be useful for technical experts in international, governmental and
municipal institutions as well as in private consulting companies
and non-governmental organizations.
