Ambient air quality monitoring . 330 $aThis book examines the capabilities for monitoring air quality, developing emission inventories, and running chemical-transport models for regulatory, forecasting, and research purposes in Southeast Asia. It also reviews scientific efforts made to better understand and characterize air pollution in the region. Poor air quality poses a threat to public health. It affects people's lives and undermines economic growth, but as in many other parts of the world, it has been overlooked in Southeast Asia. International assessments suggest that it is the culprit of 335-thousand premature deaths in the region each year, entailing a monetary cost equivalent to 6.75% of the regional GDP. Reducing air pollution requires concerted efforts from all Southeast Asian nations to implement local and regional air quality policies following a science-policy approach. For such endeavor, it is essential to develop tools that enable timely and reliable air quality management. This entails collecting data to characterize the magnitude, origin, and impact of air pollution to support corrective actions. The objective of this book is to provide a starting point for a science-based conversation about implementing solutions to Southeast Asia's air pollution problem by bringing together an analysis of the availability of air quality data and studies from across the region. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences,$x2191-5903 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aAtmospheric science 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aAtmospheric Science 606 $aEnvironmental Management 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 0$aAtmospheric science. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aAtmospheric Science. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 676 $a333.7 700 $aVelasco$b Erik$01777732 701 $aRetama$b Armando$01777733 701 $aStratoulias$b Dimitris$01777734 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910913774203321 996 $aAir Quality Management and Research in Southeast Asia$94299559 997 $aUNINA
