Based on their extensive research into the pollution-related activities of electrical utilities and companies in the pulp and paper industry, Freedman and Jaggi explore the fear that the cost of pollution abatement will damage a company's economic performance. Their findings show that while this may occur in the short run, the negative economic impact disappears over time. Authors then relate their findings to public policy issues and make significant policy recommendations. Environmentalists, corporate management, and people in government will find their findings useful and important, and quite possibly reassuring.

The underrecognized but highly significant problem of indoor air pollution is examined in this important study that covers the issue from the relative health risks involved to the shortcomings of regulatory and judicial responses. The book focuses largely upon the three best-known pollutants--radon, asbestos, and formaldehyde--exploring their hazards and the tens of thousands of deaths and millions of days of illnesses they cause. The work also synopsizes government action against these pollutants, opportunities for individuals to sue parties for harm, and proposals for government regulation and legislation to effectively protect public health.

Every section of this new edition of Air Pollution has been updated, with particular emphasis on indoor air quality, and a new chapter on Air Pollution Control and Measurement of Industrial Emissions has been added. All references to standards and legislation have been updated in line with the new UK Air Quality Guidelines. Recommended reading lists have also been extended. This new edition continues to cover the wide range of air quality issues in an accessible style. Each topic has an historical introduction, covers the body of generally accepted information, and highlights areas in which developments are currently taking place. Topics covered include the sources and sinks of gaseous and particulate air pollutants, dispersion measurement, mobile sources, indoor air pollutants, and the effects on plants, materials, humans and animals. Local case-studies are referred to, demonstrating the application of theory to practice. Air Pollution is recommended for undergraduate and postgraduate level courses specialising in air pollution, whether from an environmental science or engineering perspective. It will also be of interest to air pollution specialists in consultancies and local authorities.

Air Pollution Meteorology and Dispersion provides a concise yet thorough review of the basic theories, models, experiments, and observations of pollutant dispersal in the atmosphere. It offers the theoretical and empirical bases of frequently used dispersion models while emphasizing the limitations and uncertainties inherent in these models. Organized into twelve chapters, the material is presented in order of increasing difficulty. The first half of the book treats the basic tenets of air pollution modeling; the second half deals with the more detailed theoretical and observational aspects of dispersion. Sufficient background material on atmospheric structure, dynamics, and circulation systems and their importance to atmospheric dispersion is included for students who do not yet have a strong meteorological background. Turbulence and diffusion theories, such as gradient transport, statistical, and similarity theories, as well as analytical and numerical dispersion and air quality models, are also discussed. Problems and exercises are included in each chapter, making this an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate courses in atmospheric science and mechanical engineering.
