Air Pollution at the Urban and Regional Level Sources, Sinks, and Transportation
Air Pollution at the Urban and Regional Level: Sources, Sinks, and Transportation, by Elena Hristova, Manousos Ioannis Manousakas, Anikó Angyal, and Maria Gini, examines the generation, distribution, transport, and accumulation of air pollutants across urban and regional environments. The book explores the major sources of atmospheric pollution and the processes through which pollutants are emitted, transported, transformed, and removed from the atmosphere. Particular attention is given to the interactions between anthropogenic activities, environmental conditions, atmospheric processes, and the spatial distribution of pollutants at different scales. The concepts of sources, sinks, and pollutant transportation provide a framework for understanding the movement and fate of contaminants in urban and regional atmospheric systems. The book also addresses the implications of air pollution for environmental quality and the importance of monitoring and understanding pollutant pathways for effective environmental management. By bringing together perspectives from atmospheric science, environmental chemistry, urban studies, and regional environmental analysis, the work contributes to a broader understanding of air pollution dynamics and its spatial and environmental consequences.
