| Summary: | This volume, edited by Mohammad Hadi Dehghani, Rama Rao Karri, Teresa Vera, and Salwa Kamal Mohamed Hassan, explores the health and environmental effects of ambient air pollution. It provides a comprehensive overview of the sources and types of outdoor air pollutants, including criteria and noncriteria pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and heavy metals. The book examines the implications of these pollutants on human health and the environment, discussing their transport and dispersion, seasonal and geographical variability, and the associated regulatory and mitigation strategies. It is intended for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers involved in environmental health, offering insights into air quality monitoring, data collection, and future challenges. The work also addresses the impact of air pollution on plants, agriculture, and the broader effects of phenomena like acid rain and global warming, providing a well-rounded perspective on the subject. |
