The last decade has shown an increase in public and government concern around environmental issues due to air pollution, in particular those generated by man-made processes seeking the comfort of modern society. Atmospheric pollution consists of the adverse effects on the environment of a variety of substances (contaminants) emitted into the atmosphere by natural and man-made processes. These phenomena are complicated by the fact that an apparently inert contaminant can be transformed by chemical reaction into an adverse one, during its transport through the atmosphere. Atmospheric pollution is a multifaceted problem that includes phenomena involving the different scales; a near-field phenomena that governs the way in which the contaminant rises, short-range transport in which the ground-effect is predominant, an intermediate transport where chemical reactions become important and a long-range transport where the decay and deposition effects are relevant. This volume covers the latest research information on monitoring, and management of air pollution problems. The emphasis is on the development of experimental techniques which can be used for the understanding and solution of practical air problems. In turn, this information may be used in the evaluation of emission control strategies and techniques.
