In its 27th edition the conference on Air Pollution continues to
produce valuable research on issues related to the modelling,
monitoring and management of air pollution. The papers included in
this book continue a wide ranging collection of high quality
research works that develop the fundamental science of air
pollution. Air pollution issues remain one of the most challenging
problems facing society. The scientific knowledge derived from
well-designed studies needs to be allied with further technical and
economic studies in order to ensure cost effective and efficient
mitigation. Increasingly, it is being recognised that the outcome
of such research needs to be contextualised within well formulated
communication strategies that help policy makers and citizens to
understand and appreciate the risks and rewards arising from air
pollution management. Details of the wide spread nature of the air
pollution phenomena and in depth explorations of their impacts on
human health and the environment are covered in this book. Topics
covered include: Air pollution modelling; Aerosols and particles;
Air pollutant emission studies; Air quality health effects; Indoor
air pollution; Air data quality; Air pollution control
technologies; Industrial air pollution; Climate change effects;
Emerging pollutants; Air pollution management, policy and
legislation.

Dealing with issues related to the modelling, monitoring and
management of air pollution, this book includes papers presented at
the 26th International Conference on Modelling, Monitoring and
Management of Air Pollution. The papers from this conference
continue a wide ranging collection of high quality research works
that develop the fundamental science of air pollution. Air
pollution issues remain one of the most challenging problems facing
society. The scientific knowledge derived from well-designed
studies needs to be allied with further technical and economic
studies in order to ensure cost effective and efficient mitigation.
Increasingly, it is being recognised that the outcome of such
research needs to be contextualised within well formulated
communication strategies that help policy makers and citizens to
understand and appreciate the risks and rewards arising from air
pollution management. Details of the wide spread nature of the air
pollution phenomena and in depth explorations of their impacts on
human health and the environment are covered in this book.
Containing a series of specially selected papers, this book deals
with advances in disciplines contributing to sustainable
development, such as planning, architecture, engineering, policy
making, environmental sciences and economics, and identifies
solutions to challenges posed by sustainable development. Written
by researchers and practitioners from many different countries, the
included papers provide a unique reference of experience and
potential solutions to common problems via the application of
planning and development strategies, assessment tools and decision
making processes.
Containing papers presented at the 9th International Conference on
Sustainable Development and Planning this volume brings together
the work of academics, policy makers, practitioners and other
international stakeholders and discusses new academic findings and
their application in planning and development strategies,
assessment tools and decision making processes. Problems related to
development and planning are present in all areas and regions of
the world. Accelerated urbanisation has resulted in both the
deterioration of the environment and quality of life. Taking into
consideration the interaction between different regions and
developing new methodologies for monitoring, planning and
implementation, new strategies can offer solutions mitigating
environmental pollution and non-sustainable use of available
resources. Energy saving and eco-friendly buildings have become an
important part of modern day progress with emphasis on resource
optimisation. Planning is a key part in ensuring that these
solutions along with new materials and processes are efficiently
incorporated. Planners, environmentalists, architects, engineers
and economists have to work collectively to ensure that present and
future needs are met. The papers in the book cover a number of
topics, including: City planning; Urban architecture; Regional
planning; Sustainability and the built environment; Environmental
management; Cultural heritage; Quality of life; Sustainable
solutions in emerging countries; Sustainable tourism;
Transportation; Community planning; Timber structures; Governance;
Socio-economic issues; Mobility in the city; Energy efficiency;
Education for sustainable development; Case studies; Sustainable
development indicators.
