Description

The estimated health impacts and associated economic costs resulting from airborne particulate matter are substantial.

Exposure to airborne fine particles ranks highly amongst preventable causes of disease.

This book reviews the sources and atmospheric processes affecting airborne particulate matter and consequent impacts upon human health.

Examining the latest information on the sources of particles in the atmosphere, both through direct emissions and atmospheric formation, the book also explores the methods which are used to estimate the contributions of different sources to airborne concentrations.

Featuring case studies from recent assessments in Europe, the USA, China and India, the book provides a global overview of source apportionment.

The health effects are reviewed in the context of the influence of sources, chemical composition and particle size upon relative toxicity.

This comprehensive book is an important reference for policymakers and consultants working with pollution and human health, as well as academics working in atmospheric chemistry.
