Textbook of Air Pollution and Its Control examines one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time: the rapid deterioration of air quality and its far-reaching consequences for human health, ecosystems and climate. Driven largely by industrialisation and the extensive use of fossil fuels, air pollution has significantly altered the Earths atmospheric composition and contributed to ecological imbalance and global warming. The book provides a comprehensive account of the causes, characteristics and impacts of air pollution, while offering practical approaches to its prevention and control. It covers a wide range of pollutants, including particulate matter, gaseous, odorous, radioactive, chemical, hazardous, thermal and indoor pollutants, with particular emphasis on particulate pollution control technologies. Enriched with diagrams, figures and tables, the text facilitates clear understanding of complex concepts. A glossary and index further enhance its value as a reference and study resource for students, teachers, researchers and environmental professionals.
