About this book
A comprehensive review of the subject is given in this volume, which complements the previous title covering air quality management. Dealing with the common gaseous and particulate air pollutants, including chemical carcinogens, it reviews the epidemiological and exposure chamber study research and considers mechanistic studies in the case of particulate matter. The practical issue of setting standards for human exposure to air pollution is addressed through the inclusion of the philosophy of standard setting and a review of currently available standards.
