Air Pollution and Global Warming
History, Science, and Solutions

'… the second edition has been thoughtfully updated to reflect the latest trends and research in the fields of air pollution and climate change.' Derek J. Straub, Susquehanna University

'… a unique integrated introduction to atmospheric science, the science and adverse impacts of air pollution and climate change, and the regulations that address them.' Denise L. Mauzerall, Princeton University

'… an excellent overview of many facets of air pollution and global warming science. It's an excellent reference for students and professionals.' Jonathan D. W. Kahl, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

'This engaging and comprehensive book is effectively designed to introduce students to the chemistry and physics of Earth's atmosphere, and to pressing environmental change topics such as urban air pollution. Air Pollution and Global Warming is exceptionally well-written and presented. This is an ideal text to introduce students to the chemistry and physics of Earth's atmosphere. This accessible textbook provides a practical understanding of chemistry and physics applied to atmospheric science topics, and to the nature, causes and consequences of human modification of the atmosphere.' Sara Pryor, Provosts Professor of Atmospheric Science, Indiana University

Praise for the first edition: '… one of the standard texts in this field, especially for environmental science courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level, as well as a general reference and sourcebook for anybody interested in the history of airborne pollutants and their study, pollution meteorologists and atmospheric chemists.' Weather

Praise for the first edition: '… highly valued in environmental science curricula for its integrated approach to the scientific dimensions of all aspects of the atmospheric environment …' Chemical Heritage

Praise for the first edition: '… well suited for individuals or courses with an interest in the history of air pollution science and regulation.' EOS, Transactions, American Geophysical Union

Praise for the first edition: '… a well-rounded introduction to problems of the atmosphere and offers rich material for students contemplating their solutions …' Physics Today

'… [this] rigorous book brings a refreshing, optimistic perspective which contrasts with so many of the already available publications in this field. Its grounds are clearly rooted in science, data, statistics, existing reports and new initiatives … delivers all the promises announced in its title; it remains an important and exceptional book in this vast array of scientific documentation related to environmental science.' Yves Laberge, Electronic Green Journal
