Air pollution has become part of the daily existence of many people
who work, live and use the streets in Asian cities. Each day
millions of city dwellers breathe air polluted with concentrations
of chemicals, smoke and particles that dramatically exceed World
Health Organization guideline values. Deteriorating air quality has
resulted in significant impacts on human health and environment in
Asia. This book provides a comprehensive and comparative assessment
of the current status and challenges in urban air pollution
management in 20 cities in the Asian region. It examines the
effects on human health and the environment and future implications
for planning, transport and energy sectors. National and local
governments have begun to develop air quality management strategies
to address the deterioration in urban air quality; however, the
scope and effectiveness of such strategies vary widely. This book
benchmarks these air quality management strategies, examines
successes and failures in these cities and presents strategies for
improving air quality management in cities across Asia and the rest
of our rapidly urbanizing world. Information on air quality in Asia
is clearly presented with easy-to-read city profiles, tables and
graphs. This is an essential resource for all those concerned with
urban air quality management, not just in Asia but in cities across
our rapidly urbanizing world. Cities covered Bangkok, Beijing,
Busan, Colombo, Dhaka, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Jakarta,
Kathmandu, Kolkata, Metro Manila, Mumbai, New Delhi, Seoul,
Shanghai, Singapore, Surabaya, Taipei and Tokyo
