Air Pollution.
Expert InsightsPublished 1971
A discussion of air pollution history, sources, extent, and distribution of current types of pollutants, and their harmful effects. An old problem to Londoners, air pollution control is becoming a new and urgent problem to urban and rural populations all over the world. As industrialization increases, simple and inexpensive measures that reduce part of the pollutant emissions become inadequate, and more costly changes must be made. Expense and inconvenience can be saved by using mathematical models of pollutant transport, distribution and concentration, photochemical reaction, and dispersion to determine the best way to maintain desired air quality in a populated region. Encouraging results have been obtained using urban modeling based on mass-balance relations. 32 pp.
