Beschreibung

Air Quality: Science, Impacts, and Management provides a thorough treatment of the fundamental science of air quality, its interactions, its impacts on health and the environment and management strategies for reducing air pollution in cities, regionally and globally. It begins with fundamentals of the atmosphere and its relevance for air quality before moving logically to sources and emissions, chemical transformation, dynamics, prediction, observations and analysis methods. The importance of regional air pollution and interactions with climate demonstrate the multiscale nature of air quality. The book concludes by examining the impacts on ecosystems and health, reviewing the strategies to manage air pollution and highlighting real-world challenges and possible solutions to improve air quality in global cities. The chapters, written by Ranjeet Sokhi with the collaboration of international experts in the field, are designed to be read sequentially or independently for focused learning in this complex and interdisciplinary field. Air Quality: Science, Impacts, and Management is an excellent resource for students, researchers and professionals in the field of Air Quality and related sciences.

Autor

Professor Ranjeet Sokhi's research focusses on the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere with emphasis on physical and chemical processes affecting air quality and interactions with climate. He has been an advisor for the UK Governments' Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), UK's Public Health England (PHE) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). He has been the chair of the WMOs' projects on urban science (GURME) and air quality prediction for Africa (PREFIA) for several years. He has coordinated or played a leading role in many research projects and networks funded by UKRI, European Commission and Industry as well as being a principal investigator (PI) for the UK's National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS). For over two decades, Professor Sokhi was the chair of the series of International Conferences on Air Quality - Science and Application. He has published his research findings widely and has nearly 200 publications including scientific articles in major international journals and co-authored and edited several major reports and books. Currently, Professor Sokhi is the Director of the Centre for Climate Change Research (C3R) at the University of Hertfordshire, UK and a co-coordinator of the Horizon Europe project FOCI on non-CO2 radiative forcers and their impacts on climate and air quality.
