Air Pollution and Climate Change : The Basics / John K. Pearson, Richard Derwent
By: Pearson, John K [Author.].
Contributor(s): Derwent, Richard G [author.].
Publisher: Newyork : Routledge, 2022Description: 184p. 39 B/W Illustrations.ISBN: 9781032275185.Subject(s): Air -- Pollution | Climatic changes | Climate change mitigationDDC classification: 363.7392 Summary: This book identifies four key forms of air pollution: indoor, urban, regional and global. It discusses how these four types of pollution are manifest in today’s society and examines the scientific and policy challenges that stand in the way of progress. Written in a style that balances scientific underpinnings with accessible language, Pearson and Derwent examine the sources and historical context of air pollutants, before dedicating a chapter to each of the key forms. Armed with these basics, they begin to address the challenges faced by improving indoor, urban and regional air quality, whilst reducing global warming in the years ahead. This leads to a greater understanding of the challenges of global climate change, with new proposals for reducing global warming. However, the authors conclude that it is only when we have a scenario of reforestation combined with reductions in emissions of all greenhouse gases that real progress will be made in the fight against climate change. Then, air pollution will also be consigned to history. With a foreword written by Professor James Lovelock, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change and environmental policy, as well as air quality professionals working in this important field.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
