Air Pollution and Health

Edited by Stephen T. Holgate, Jonathon M. Samet, Hillel S Hillel, Jewish scholar
Hillel, fl. c.30 B.C.–A.D. 10, Jewish scholar, regarded as the forebear of the later patriarchs who led the Jews of Palestine until c.A.D. 400. The Jerusalem Talmud calls him the president of the Sanhedrin.
. Koren, and Robert L. Maynard (1999)

This book is the first fully comprehensive and current account of air pollution science and the impact of air pollution on human health. It covers topics ranging from meteorology meteorology, branch of science that deals with the atmosphere of a planet, particularly that of the earth, the most important application of which is the analysis and prediction of weather. , atmospheric chemistry Atmospheric chemistry is a branch of atmospheric science in which the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere and that of other planets is studied. It is a multidisciplinary field of research and draws on environmental chemistry, physics, meteorology, computer modeling, oceanography, , and particle physics particle physics
 or high-energy physics

Study of the fundamental subatomic particles, including both matter (and antimatter) and the carrier particles of the fundamental interactions as described by quantum field theory.

 and respiratory, cardiovascular, and related disorders. Air Pollution and Health also has substantial international coverage and sections on cost implications, risk assessment, regulation, standards, and information networks. The multidisciplinary approach multidisciplinary approach A term referring to the philosophy of converging multiple specialties and/or technologies to establish a diagnosis or effect a therapy  and the breadth of the discussion provide readers with up-to-date information on all issues related to ambient air pollution. For all concerned with monitoring and regulating air pollution, as well as those concerned with human health impacts, this book is essential.

Air Quality (Third Edition)

Thad Godish (1997)

Air Quality covers all the new issues and challenges in air quality, as well as a new look at familiar concerns in light of recent discoveries and scientific advances. This is a complete overview of the topic, written in an accessible, highly readable style by a respected expert in the field. The book has been significantly revised from previous editions. A new chapter on quantitative methods adds an engineering perspective to the subject and makes this book especially valuable to students and professionals. Revisions and additions to the information on indoor air quality Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) deals with the content of interior air that could affect health and comfort of building occupants. The IAQ may be compromised by microbial contaminants (mold, bacteria), chemicals (such as carbon monoxide, radon), allergens, or any mass or energy stressor  reflect the increasing importance of this maturing science. You will find this book valuable in many areas of study, including all areas of environmental science, engineering, industrial hygiene, and health and safety programs.
