This book reviews the sources of the air pollutants responsible
for building damage and the mechanisms involved. Studies
investigating the relationships between pollution concentration
(dose) and the resulting damage (response) are described and the
latest research findings for dose-response functions are
presented.
Trends in pollutant emissions, ambient concentrations and
building damage over time are described and future predictions are
presented. Methodologies for assessing the extent of the potential
problem in a region the stock at risk are presented. Procedures for
estimating the economic implications are described and the
consequences are discussed in detail, because economic factors are
important for reaching policy and management decisions at local,
national and international scales.
Damage to cultural heritage buildings is an important additional
effect which needs to be considered as the standards are revised
and the factors which will need to be brought into the assessment
are presented.
