Air pollution affects us all in a number of crucial ways,
causing lasting damage to our health and our environment. Whereas
primary pollution can result from local activities, the extent of
the impact can be felt at spatial scales from the individual up to
the whole planet, and temporal scales from minutes to decades.
Consequently, pollution of our atmosphere remains a critical
concern, warranting continued scientific investigation and the
development of effective local and global solutions. 'The World
Atlas of Atmospheric Pollution' clearly and engagingly summarises
current understanding of the state of air pollution on city to
global scales.
Using high-quality graphical illustrations, the Atlas begins
with a historical perspective before addressing topics such as
urban and global air pollution, long-range transmission of
pollution, ozone depletion and the impacts of air pollution, as
well as future trends. Each chapter provides an introduction to the
topic and graphical representations of the spatial and temporal
distributions of air pollutants. Wherever possible, the chapters
give a world-wide view of the state of our atmosphere. The
illustrations are supported by explanations and other background
material, allowing the reader to gain an informed insight into
emission sources, the resulting atmospheric concentrations of key
pollutants and their associated impacts.
