Description for Particles in Our Air
Paperback. This work looks at the argument that fossil fuels are the major culprit in the production of particle air pollution. It cites studies on animals and epidemiological studies, and includes models describing mechanisms by which the effects of the particulates can be induced. Editor(s): Spengler, John D.; Wilson, Richard. Num Pages: 266 pages, 40 illustrations. BIC Classification: MBNH2; RNP; TQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 230 x 150 x 18. Weight in Grams: 430.
It is no secret that the burning of fossil fuels causes air pollution and adversely affects the health of the human population. Over the last 10 years, research has been providing new insight about the health consequences of particulate air pollution. Generated by the use of fossil energy, respirable-sized particles pose a major threat to our environment and health. In this book the hypothesis that fossil fuels are the primary culprit is examined in detail, including the nature, generation, and transport of particulate air pollution. The authors cite studies on animals and epidemiological studies—those showing acute effects soon after exposure ... Read more
