Effects Of Air Pollution On The Built Environment, The Hardback
by Peter (City Univ Of Hong Kong, Hong Kong) Brimblecombe
Part of the Air Pollution Reviews series
Hardback
Description
Air pollution damages materials, but it has changed dramatically in the past century, with a reduction in the concentration of corrosive primary pollutants in urban atmospheres.
At the same time, architectural styles and types of materials have changed, as we have moved to more organically rich, photochemically active atmospheres.Contemporary air pollutants have the potential to degrade organic coatings and polymers, which are of great importance to modern structures, while increasing amounts of fine diesel soot spoil the simple lines and smooth areas characteristic of many modern buildings.This book examines a range of materials, discussing the ways in which they are likely to be damaged by air pollutants.
It should be of interest to scientists and policymakers dealing with the effects of urban air pollution.
