Editorial Review Product Description Air pollution is recognized as one of the leading contributors to the global environmental burden of disease, even in countries with relatively low concentrations of air pollution. Air Pollution: Health and Environmental Impacts examines the effect of this complex problem on human health and the environment in different settings around the world. It not only covers general modeling, monitoring, and characterization techniques but also includes field studies and cases that offer valuable insight into region-specific issues. With contributions from a distinguished group of international experts, the book explores ways of controlling air pollution and mitigating its adverse effects on human health and the environment. Often taking a regional and global perspective, it discusses the monitoring and source characterization of air pollution, the theory and application of air quality modeling, health effects and risk assessment, and the environmental impacts of air pollution. The book also addresses air quality management and relevant policy issues. Along with providing an understanding of the scientific basis of air pollution, this volume helps readers better appreciate social and environmental determinants of public health and apply country-based research evidence to reduce health disparities and environmental inequalities. It also encourages future research and policy action on the health and environmental consequences of air pollution from the local to global level. |

Editorial Review Product Description Since its discovery in early 1900, turbulence has been an interesting and complex area of study. Written by international experts, Air Pollution and Turbulence: Modeling and Applications presents advanced techniques for modeling turbulence, with a special focus on air pollution applications, including pollutant dispersion and inverse problems. The book’s foreword was written by specialists in the field, including the Professor Sergej Zilitinkevich. Offering innovative atmospheric mathematical modeling methods, which can also be applied to other disciplines, the book includes: The book provides a solid theoretical understanding of turbulence and includes cases studies that illustrate subjects related to environmental sciences and environmental modeling. It reflects and summarizes recent developments in key areas of modeling atmospheric turbulence and air pollution. It pulls together information on techniques and methods used on turbulence, air pollution, and applications. While these topics are often covered separately, this book’s combined coverage of all three areas sets it apart. |

Editorial Review Product Description Biotechnology offers one of the most economical and environmentally benign methods of air pollution control for industrial and municipal airstreams. Volatile organic and inorganic odorous compounds from various industries are emitted in large quantities and create hazards to the ecosystem and health effects to humans. Thus, the demand for odor and air pollution control systems that provide nuisance-free, breathable air is constantly growing. An international board of authors from universities, research institutes, and industries describe various biotechnological methods ranging from laboratory, to pilot evaluation and to full-scale process implementation. Topics include bioprocesses for the treatment of odors and air pollutants in wastewater treatment plants, rendering plants, chemical production facilities, and food and flavor manufacturing facilities. In addition to the basic microbiological and engineering aspects, the design, modeling and control of bioreactors are also presented. |

Critique By Data Analysis It has become common practice among environmental advocates to use history to justify their policy positions.In keeping with its title, Clearing the Air is an attempt to set the record straight about the war against air pollution.Goklany argues that it is wrong to give the federal Clean Air Act credit for recent improvement in air quality, since historical data show that per capita emissions of SO2, VOC, NOx, CO and PM, as well as urban smoke concentrations, had peaked and were in decline long before Congress passed the modern form of the Act in 1970. To Goklany this indicates that federal legislation was unnecessary, since natural forces would have reduced emissions anyway. If the federal program was not responsible for cleaner air, then what was?Goklany attributes the improvement to a societal mechanism he calls "the environmental transition."Over the long term, emissions of a pollutant will increase to the point at which its harmfulness becomes recognized, then the problem is addressed and the pollutant starts to decline.Goklany explains this phenomenon to be a function principally of wealth and technology:as affluence and technological sophistication increase, the human desire to improve living standards causes pollution problems to be addressed. While policy advocates use history to score points, historians should judge such accounts not by their utility but by the quality of their scholarship.While the book presents a strong historical narrative in its first chapter, summarizing the history of air pollution and its control, thereafter the book addresses historical issues almost entirely through data analysis.This is an original contribution, but it has certain shortcomings. First, in the absence of a fuller historical treatment the data by itself only suggests a range of interpretations.Since the effects (i.e., the development of modern environmental institutions) could have resulted from a number of causes, a statistical approach does not provide a way to reason back from an observed effect to any specific antecedent as its cause.To find the drivers of the environmental transition, one needs to know specifically what decision-makers actually considered.This is the problem:much of the argument is made by inference rather than by evidence. One welcomes a better statistical account of the history, but the account is incomplete without the details. A second general concern is that Clearing the Air fails to make a clear distinction between traditional smoke and modern air pollution problems.The inquisitive reader would stop there and ask, "If emissions had peaked, why would Congress establish a new federal program to control emissions that were already being adequately controlled?"Two alternative explanations come to mind.(1) One might conclude, as Goklany has, that Congress was simply mistaken.But isn't it also plausible that Congress was motivated in 1970 not by a desire to fix pollution problems that were already being solved but to address problems that were not?And there were in fact unsolved problems regarding modern air pollution that the Act addressed, such as lead and other auto emissions.Thus, while the Act gained jurisdiction over the pollutants that were already subject to state regulation in order to create a comprehensive national program, the regulatory approach applied throughout reflects Congress' concern for the distinctly modern pollution problems that were believed to be out of control.This explanation is compatible with the finding that some of the traditional pollutants had already leveled off or declined.(2) It may be that ambient concentrations had not peaked yet, since we can never know the counterfactual scenario.Were it not for the federal Act, the modern air pollution problems might have gotten much worse than they already were.It is logically circular to argue that the Act was useless because pollution did not get worse, since the Act had a role in making sure it did not get worse.Because the book's argument relies on a comparison to the counterfactual scenario, that argument can be neither proved nor disproved. Third, while Clearing the Air claims that because of the environmental transition the pre-existing forces would have reduced emissions without federal regulation, it never makes clear whether the reduced emissions prior to 1970 resulted from market forces or from regulation.The book points to advancement of technology as the principal remedy in the environmental transition, but not by what means that technology appeared. While Clearing the Air makes a solid contribution to the literature, a more modest title would have been preferable.With its argument based almost entirely on interpretation of data that represent more traditional than modern air pollution problems, this book's findings, for all their technical merit, cannot be considered established as generally applicable principles.
