"This new compendium provides a nuanced look at monitoring, measuring, and modeling air quality pollution in conjunction with its effects on public health and the environment. Air pollution has been proven to be a major environmental risk to health. Protecting and improving air quality requires knowledge about the types and levels of pollutants being emitted. It also requires the best possible measurement and monitoring capabilities. Air Quality: Monitoring, Measuring, and Modeling Environmental Hazards provides an overview of low-cost sensors adoption for air quality monitoring. The book then goes on to examine modeling and monitoring systems from different sources of criteria air contaminants (CAC), or criteria pollutants, including those generated from waste incineration; industrial emissions; urban air pollution; agriculture. Chapters look at comparative analyses of monitoring devices and management practices along with different sources of pollutants, such as from manufacturing plants, municipal solid waste, exhaust gases, shale natural gas extraction, steel-making plants, post-harvest agricultural-waste burning, and other sources. With air quality at the forefront of the world's attention, this valuable volume provides information on measurement and monitoring capabilities to help researchers, scientists, policymakers, and others create better and cleaner air quality policies and management practices."-- |
