This book presents the most up-to-date research and information
regarding the origin, chemistry, fate and health impacts of
airborne particulate matter in urban areas, a topic which has
received a great deal of attention in recent years due to
documented relationships between exposure and health effects such
as asthma. With internationally recognised researchers and
academics presenting their work and key concepts and approaches
from a variety of disciplines, including environmental and
analytical chemistry, biology, toxicology, mineralogy and the
geosciences, this book addresses the topic of urban airborne
particulate matter in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary manner.
Topics and research addressed in the book range from common
methodological approaches used to sample and analyse the
composition of airborne particulates to our knowledge regarding
their potential to impact human health and the various policy
approaches taken internationally to regulate particulate matter
levels.
