"On a day-to-day basis, we are constantly exposed to a variety of different pollutants. From the air we breathe to the food we eat, undesirable substances can be found everywhere and they can have significant health effects. Covering topics from dietary exposure to chemicals through to the health effects of climate change, this book brings together contributors from around the world to highlight the latest science on how environmental po ..."
"The estimated health impacts and associated economic costs resulting from airborne particulate matter are substantial. Exposure to airborne fine particles ranks highly amongst preventable causes of disease. This book reviews the sources and atmospheric processes affecting airborne particulate matter and consequent impacts upon human health. Examining the latest information on the sources of particles in the atmosphere, both through dire ..."

"Artificial neural networks (ANNs), which are parallel computational models, comprising of interconnected adaptive processing units (neurons) have the capability to predict accurately the dispersive behavior of vehicular pollutants under complex environmental conditions. This book aims at describing step-by-step procedure for formulation and development of ANN based VP models considering meteorological and traffic parameters. The model p ..."
"Due to exponential increase in the number of vehicles registered, presence of thermal power plants and industrial activities in Delhi, the pollution levels are higher making it very clear that the pollution levels are contributed by all these sources. Hence, a study of monitoring of ambient air quality at 4 sites of Delhi city due to above-mentioned sources was carried out in order to assess the impact of various sources on pollution le ..."
"Biomass remains the primary energy source in the developing countries in Asia. It contributes over a third of primary energy in India. Biomass fuels are predominantly used in indian households for cooking and water heating, as well as by traditional and artisan industries. It reflects that indoor air pollution in urban households in Indian slums is responsible for high degree of morbidity and mortality stressing the dire need fo ..."
"The book also offers useful information on indoor air quality and smart sensors, which are gaining much importance in current times. This contributed volume is primarily intended for graduate and professional audiences."

"Urban schools are mostly located in close proximity to heavy traffic-density roadways, which may lead their indoor environment to experience significant concentrations of outdoor pollutants. Besides, schools have complex indoor environment influenced by number and age of children belongs to sensitive group of population and to various other environmental factors. The exposure to various contaminants in such indoor environments ..."
"This publication sheds light on an important and at times controversial new industrial process that is to be introduced to the Caribbean Aluminium Smelting. The proposed establishment of the first smelting plant in Trinidad has led to strong objections by health and environmental advocates who point to the hazards such as development poses. The chapters contained in this book are all written by experts in a variety of fields who attemp ..."
"The book provides a general over view of urban air quality modeling with a special focus on the Neuro- Fuzzy approach. The primary pollutants emitted by vehicular sources in typical urban settings viz. CO and NO2 have been analyzed using Neuro-Fuzzy models. The application is preceded by a comprehensive discussion of these models. The models can be used for forecasting ambient air quality which forms a very critical input for any ..."
