Overview

Air pollutants such as ozone and particulate matter (PM) increase the amount and seriousness of lung and heart disease and other health problems. More investigation is needed to further understand the role poor air quality plays in causing detrimental effects to health and increased disease, especially in vulnerable populations. Children, the elderly, and people living in areas with high levels of air pollution are especially susceptible.Reducing pollutants in the air is important for human health and environment. Hence the study of air pollution and control is prime important. Air Pollution and Control is an integral part of Environment Protection and Climate Change course syllabi for all branches of Science and Engineering. This book covers all aspects related to Air Pollution and Control viz. Sources and effects of Air Pollution with respect to standards; Global effects of air pollution like Global Warming, Acid rains, Ozone layer depletion, Climate changes and effects on Human being, Live stocks, Plants, materials; Methods of removal of particulates as well as gases.
