Pollutants from traffic, cooking stoves, and factories emitted half a world away can make the air we inhale today more hazardous for our health. The relative importance of this 'imported' pollution is likely to increase, as emissions in developing countries grow, and air quality standards in industrial countries are tightened. Global Sources of Local Pollution examines the impact of the long-range transport of four key air pollutants (ozone, particulate matter, mercury, and persistent organic pollutants) on air quality and pollutant deposition in the United States. It also explores the environmental impacts of U.S. emissions on other parts of the world. The book recommends that the United States work with the international community to develop an integrated system for determining pollution sources and impacts and to design effective response strategies"--Publisher's description.Air quality managementUnited StatesAirPollutionEvaluationAirPollutionResearchUnited StatesAirPollutionUnited StatesEnvironmental impact analysisUnited StatesEnvironmental monitoringUnited StatesNonpoint source pollutionAir quality managementAirPollutionEvaluation.AirPollutionResearchAirPollutionEnvironmental impact analysisEnvironmental monitoringNonpoint source pollution.363.73920973National Academies (U.S.)National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on the Significance of International Transport of Air Pollutants.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139475603321Global sources of local pollution2128414UNINA
