Particulates Matter: Impact, Measurement, and Remediation of Airborne Pollutants

A title in the Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series, Particulates Matter: Impact, Measurement, and Remediation of Airborne Pollutants provides the latest technical findings in the study of particulate matter (PM). Furthermore, it links these findings to awareness-raising and actionable schemes for legislated remediation and engineered solutions. Written in an engaging and informative manner, the book begins with a multi-disciplinary overview of the major sources and unique classes of PM, detection techniques, and their impact, including molecular changes resulting in health effects. It then goes one step further by proposing and examining the means to curtail and contain PM generation and ameliorate their impacts. Includes a summary of the current knowledge on nanoparticles as pollutants and their negative health effectsProvides a framework for the evolution and maturation of air pollution characterization and mitigationDescribes an integrated set of engineered solutions that account for the concatenated relationships between technology, policy, and society necessary for long-term success INDICE: Part I 1.
