Media reviews

"The Phalens have put together a timely book on a critically important topic that affects all of us – air pollution – and they do so in a new and highly relevant way: they consider the broad societal health impacts from a fundamental science viewpoint. The epidemiology, toxicology, and risks of air pollutants are included, and ethical issues of concern are highlighted. This book is a must-read for students who wish to become professionals in the air quality field and for students of environmental science whose work includes air pollution issues. The book is a significant contribution to the discipline."
- Cliff I. Davidson, Director, Center for Sustainable Engineering; Thomas C. and Colleen L. Wilmot Professor of Engineering, Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Syracuse University

"Truly, human well-being and public health in the 21st century may hinge on our ability to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, control, and confirm responsible management of air pollution. This timely, informative, and insightful text provides a solid introduction for students and a technically sound handbook for professionals seeking literacy and critical thinking, real-life examples, understanding (not just rote applications), opportunities for continuous improvement, and modern tools for assessing and managing current and evolving air pollution challenges."
- Mark D. Hoover, PhD, CHP, CIH, Aerosol and health science researcher, author, and editor
 
"Among the large number of texts on air pollution, few address the fundamental scientific questions and practical issues in a truly integrated way. The father-son team of the Professors Phalen and Phalen achieve this in their thoughtful new book. It illuminates the various multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary aspects of the topic in a way that is both refreshing and appealing to the reader, and will be widely recommended for undergraduate and graduate students alike."
- James H. Vincent, PhD, DSc, FRSC, Professor Emeritus of Environmental Health Sciences, School of Public Health, University of Michigan

"No one is better qualified than the Phalen team to provide this much-needed introductory textbook on air pollution science from a public health perspective. This important contribution will undoubtedly elevate the level of teaching and education to a new standard."
- Michael S. Perkins, MD, MPH, Adjunct Professor, University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler
 
"There was an urgent need for a textbook on air pollution for undergraduate university level. Thankfully, due to Robert F. Phalen and Robert N. Phalen, two world experts in the field of air pollution research, such a book is now available. Introduction to Air Pollution Science: A Public Health Perspective conveys the most comprehensive, recent and sound knowledge to undergraduate students. This is a very motivating piece of work for any undergraduate student who has an interest in air pollution research. Congratulations to the authors for this milestone."
- Peter Gehr, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Institute of Anatomy, University of Bern, Switzerland
