Traditionally, air pollution has been a concern mainly in terms of its impacts on human health, and it is still an immediate public and governmental concern in most Asian countries. However, in recent years so-called extreme weather events, such as stronger tropical cyclones, flooding, drought, and other phenomena, have been manifested causing tremendous losses of human lives and properties. Importantly, climate models tell us that such extreme weather events are actually induced by anthropogenic global warming. It has been pointed out that mitigation or alleviation of such climate change leading to the extreme weather events in the next 30 years can be possible only by reducing air pollutants with positive radiative forcing such as ozone or methane, which are called short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Here, concerns about mitigation of air pollutants from the points of human health and climate change have merged. This book covers different kinds of air pollutants and radiative forcers and how they can be measured. It also mentions the situation of air pollutants in different continents and their regional impacts to human health, environment and economy as well as their link to extreme weather events. The book presents how the air pollution and climate change can be mitigated and how clean air technologies and international initiatives for co-controlling air pollution and climate change have been developed. 410 0$aSpringer Nature reference. 606 $aAir$xPollution$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aAir$xPollution$xHealth aspects$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aAir$xPollution$xMeasurement$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aAir quality$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aAir quality$xHealth aspects$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aClimatic changes$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aEcosystem health$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 615 0$aAir$xPollution 615 0$aAir$xPollution$xHealth aspects 615 0$aAir$xPollution$xMeasurement 615 0$aAir quality 615 0$aAir quality$xHealth aspects 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aEcosystem health 676 $a363.7392 702 $aAkimoto$b Hajime 702 $aTanimoto$b Hiroshi 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746972403321 996 $aHandbook of Air Quality and Climate Change$93397874 997 $aUNINA
