Traffic-Related Air Pollution

Traffic-Related Air Pollution synthesizes and maps TRAP and its impact on human health at the individual and population level. The book analyzes mitigating standards and regulations with a focus on cities. It provides the methods and tools for assessing and quantifying the associated road traffic emissions, air pollution, exposure and population-based health impacts, while also illuminating the mechanisms underlying health impacts through clinical and toxicological research. Real-world implications are set alongside policy options, emerging technologies and best practices. Finally, the book recommends ways to influence discourse and policy to better account for the health impacts of TRAP and its societal costs.

• Overviews existing and emerging tools to assess TRAP’s public health impacts
• Examines TRAP’s health effects at the population level
• Explores the latest technologies and policies--alongside their potential effectiveness and adverse consequences--for mitigating TRAP
• Guides on how methods and tools can leverage teaching, practice and policymaking to ameliorate TRAP and its effects
