Air Pollution: Issues and Solutions

Abstract

Provides a summary of the main European regional and world global issues in relation to air pollution. Makes reference to the classical problems of SO⊂x, SPM and NO⊂x pollution by heavy metals, and to the issue which was at the forefront in the 1980s – acidic deposition; winter‐and summer‐smog episodes which caught the attention of politicians a few years ago; and of course, the widely spoken of issue on global climate change and the ozone layer depletion. Gives special attention to the not so well‐recognized and understood indoor air quality. Closes with the proposal of possible solutions for confronting the various issues.
