Air Pollution Calculations

Air Pollution Calculations: Quantifying Pollutant Formation, Transport, Transformation, Fate and Risks, Second Edition enhances the systems science aspects of air pollution, including transformation reactions in soil, water, sediment, and biota that contribute to air pollution. This second edition will be an update based on research and actions taken since 2019 that affect air pollution calculations, including new control technologies, emissions measurement, and air quality modeling. Recent court cases, regulatory decisions, and advances in technology will be discussed and, where necessary, calculations have been revised to reflect these updates. The text begins with a look at air pollutant characterization, pollutant transformation, and environmental partitioning. Air partitioning, physical transport of air pollutants, air pollution biogeochemistry, and thermal reactions are thoroughly explored. The author then carefully examines air pollution risk calculations, control technologies, and dispersion models. The text wraps with discussions of economics and project management, reliability and failure, and air pollution decision-making Environmental researchers and engineers will find this to be a comprehensive resource for understanding air pollution and quantifying existing data Sidebars provide real-life current cases as examples of quantitation of emerging air pollution problems Straightforward derivation of equations gives practitioners and instructors direct link between first principles of science and applications of technologies Example calculations make scientific theory real for the student and practitioner
