This volume provides coverage of air quality management, and includes chapters on improving air quality in the UK, the construction of emissions inventories and the design and operation of air-monitoring networks. It also looks at air quality in Europe and in California.

The management of air quality is at the forefront of international debate. This volume provides coverage of air quality management, and includes chapters on improving air quality in the UK, the construction of emissions inventories and the design and operation of air-monitoring networks. Validation of air-pollution models, requiring source receptor modelling, is described, as is the use of geochemical or biological tolerances known as critical loads to determine the maximum allowable inputs of pollutants to the terrestrial environment. The first European auto-oil study, which was sponsored by the European Commission in order to identify the most cost-effective means of meeting air quality targets, is included as a case study.
