Atmospheric Pollution and Environmental Change
Atmospheric Pollution and Environmental Change is an introduction to the major pollutants currently arousing concern and a description how scientists monitor the composition of the atmosphere and assess emissions. Approaching atmospheric change in the context of its effects on the natural environment, people and the global climate system, Atmospheric Pollution and Environmental Change examines:
BL Atmospheric pollution at global, continental and local scales
BL The development of policy at national and international levels
BL The major computer modelling approaches which help us to understand and forecast the behaviour of pollutants and their impacts
BL The success (or otherwise) of policies designed to reduce air pollution and the prospects for the future.
With extensive references to useful web sites and further reading, Atmospheric Pollution and Environmental Change will be of great benefit to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students.

About the Author

Sarah Metcalfe is Professor of Earth and Environmental Dynamics in the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham, UK.

Dick Derwent is an independent consultant and has worked for over thirty years on air pollution and atmospheric chemistry. He has worked in major research organisations and for the UK government in developing and implementing air pollution policies. He was a contributor to the IPCC Working Group 1 3rd assessment.

Both authors have served on a number of review and expert groups on air pollution issues for the UK government.
