Main description:

Air Quality Modelling and its Applications in Environmental Management provides information about air pollution and its health impacts. Modelling is an essential approach in this field and helps us understand observed features of air pollution, manage air pollution episodes, and understand the health impacts and co-benefits of air pollution mitigation.

After a brief overview of air quality modelling, the text works though a comprehensive analysis of its many different applications, including dust, acid rain, ozone sources, and aerosol sources. This section also considers secondary aerosol sources and aerosol microphysics. The editors then explore adaptive grids in air quality modeling as well as modelling biogenic sources of air pollution. The text wraps up with an examination of chemical data assimilation and health risk assessment.

This text expertly integrates air quality modelling and its applications towards a better understanding of the essential role of air quality modelling in air pollution management and health risk assessment.
