Principles and Practices of Air Pollution Control and Analysis

Principles and Practices of Air Pollution Control and Analysis is a ready reference book for scientists and technologists. The subject matter has been presented in five sections and 25 chapters. First section introduces the student to air pollution and the second section deals with the current air pollution control technologies. The third section is informative in character and presents environmental issues related to air pollution such as acid rain, global climatic change, CFCs and ozone layer etc. The fourth section presents management aspects of air pollution and the final section has been dedicated to instrumentation and chemical has been structured to other clear understanding of the subject matter with illustrated examples.

The book provides an essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Environmental Science and/ Engineering and provides an insight into the chemistry of air pollution. It will also be of interest for professionals and consultants working in the area of air pollution control.
