Description
Fundamentals of Air Pollution is an important and widely used textbook in the environmental science and engineering community.
Written shortly after the passage of the seminal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the third edition was quite timely. Surprisingly,
the text has remained relevant for university professors, engineers, scientists, policy makers and students up to recent years. However,
in light of the transition in the last five years from predominantly technology-based standards (maximum achievable control technologies
or MACTs) to risk-based regulations and air quality standards, the text must be updated significantly.
The fourth edition will be updated
to include numerous MACTs which were not foreseen during the writing of the third edition, such as secondary lead (Pb) smelting, petroleum
refining, aerospace manufacturing, marine vessel loading, ship building, printing and publishing, elastomer production, offsite waste
operations, and polyethylene terephthalate polymer and styrene-based thermoplastic polymers production. Overall, revisions will reflect
the numerous changes in the understanding of air pollution and the development of new technologies that has occurred in the past twelve
years.
Audience
Students in senior and graduate courses in air pollution and control taught in departments of environmental science and engineering, atmospheric
science, and public health; practitioners looking for the latest information on pollution science.
