About this book
Sampling and Analysis of Airborne Pollutants presents a compilation of recent work addressing air pollution and the measurement of airborne compounds conducted by leading environmental scientists. Themes ranging from electro-optical remote sensing to new directions in sampling techniques are represented, and topics covered include innovative sampling methods, visibility research in national parks, analysis of carbonyl compounds, artefacts in aerosol sampling, methods of volatile organic compound (VOC) sampling and analysis, data interpretation of ambient VOC data and interpretation of data from environmental tobacco smoke.
