This book identifies four key forms of air pollution: indoor,
urban, regional and global. It discusses how these four types of
pollution are manifest in today's society and examines the
scientific and policy challenges that stand in the way of progress.
Written in a style that balances scientific underpinnings with
accessible language, Pearson and Derwent examine the sources and
historical context of air pollutants, before dedicating a chapter
to each of the key forms. Armed with these basics, they begin to
address the challenges faced by improving indoor, urban and
regional air quality, whilst reducing global warming in the years
ahead. This leads to a greater understanding of the challenges of
global climate change, with new proposals for reducing global
warming. However, the authors conclude that it is only when we have
a scenario of reforestation combined with reductions in emissions
of all greenhouse gases that real progress will be made in the
fight against climate change. Then, air pollution will also be
consigned to history. With a foreword written by Professor James
Lovelock, this book will be of great interest to students and
scholars of climate change and environmental policy, as well as air
quality professionals working in this important field.

This book describes the present state of knowledge regarding the
nature of air pollutants, their sources, and their real and
potential effects on health. Featuring in-depth analyses of the air
quality improvement programs in both the United States and Europe.
Improving Air Quality provides automotive engineers with practical
information on the progress that has already been made, and the
possibilities for further advances which can lead to increasing
environmental improvements.
