Air Pollution, Climate, and Health An Integrated Perspective on Their Interactions
Coordonnateurs : Gao Meng, Wang Zifa, Carmichael Gregory
Air Pollution, Climate and Health integrates the current understanding of the issues of air pollution, climate change and human health. The book provides a comprehensive overview of these issues to help readers gain a better understanding of how they interact and impact air quality and public health. Regional examples from across the globe include issues related to PM 2.5, haze, winter pollution, heat related mortality and aerosols. These issues are addressed utilizing current research and laboratory-based, observation-based, and modeling-based analysis. This is an essential resource for all professionals investigating the impacts of climate change or air pollution on human health.
General Perspective 1. Overview of climate change, air quality, and human health
Air pollution affects climate 2. Short-Lived Climate Forcing Agents and Their Roles in Climate Change 3. Attribution of aerosol direct radiative forcing in China and India to emitting sectors
Dr Zifa Wang, Professor at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Professor Wang is a world-renowned leader in the development of air quality models. He played an important role in the development of the CFORS (Chemical weather FORecasting System) model in Japan, and his NAQPMS (Nested Air Quality Prediction Modeling System) is widely used to predict air quality by Chinese government. He has published nearly 300 peer-reviewed publications, has earned various prestigious awards, including the second-class State Science and Technology Progress Award.
Dr Gregory R. Carmichael has a BS, MS and PhD in chemical engineering and has done extensive research related to air quality and its environmental impacts. He is currently the Karl Kammermeyer professor of chemical and biochemical engineering at the University of Iowa. He also serves as chair of the Environmental Pollution and Atmospheric Chemistry Scientific Steering Committee of the World Meteorological Organization. He is fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU), and fellow of American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). He is a leader in the development and application of chemical transport models at scales ranging from local to global. He has published more than 350 peer-reviewed papers to date. The majority of his recent papers deal with the development and application of chemical transport models (CTM) to stu
