Environmental Science - Pollution
$ 158.99
Air pollution refers to the presence of harmful substances in the Earth's atmosphere that can have detrimental effects on human health, the environment, and the climate. These substances can be in the form of gases, particulate matter (tiny solid or liquid particles), or biological molecules. Understanding and managing air quality is crucial for public health and environmental sustainability. Through advanced modeling techniques, scientists simulate the complex interactions of pollutants in the atmosphere, aiding in prediction and policy formulation. Monitoring systems, employing sensors and satellites, provide real-time data on pollutant levels, enabling timely interventions. Both modeling and monitoring play pivotal roles in identifying sources of pollution, assessing its impact on health, and evaluating the effectiveness of regulatory measures. The various advancements in air quality monitoring and modeling are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
