Human induced warming of the Earth’s climate is emerging as one of the major scientific, social, and economic issues of the twenty-first century. In his zeal to achieve scientific and technological advancement, man is unwittingly endangering the surroundings and tilting the ecological balance. The world has already reached the level of dangerous concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and immediate and very deep cuts in the pollution are needed if humanity is to survive. The present book seeks to present this greatest threat ever to human and natural survival in its entirety. Air pollution which is a global problem has been explained with frightening specificity. Combining the varied causes and impacts of air pollution on the environment, the book provides detailed solution and useful suggestions for its control.

In order to help the readers grasp the information given herein easily and quickly, the book is well illustrated with diagrams, figures and tables. Furthermore, glossary and index will serve a useful study-aid for quick reference. The textbook is a lasting and invaluable resource about air pollution that will only continue to attract more and more attention in the coming years. It is essential reading for all students, researchers and teachers of environment, engineering and life sciences.
