<p><b>Multidisciplinary treatment of the urgent issues surrounding urban pollution worldwide</b> </p> <p>Written by some of the top experts on the subject in the world, this book presents the diverse, complex and current themes of the urban pollution debate across the built environment, urban development and management continuum. It uniquely combines the science of urban pollution with associated policy that seeks to control it, and includes a comprehensive collection of international case studies showing the status of the problem worldwide.</p> <p><i>Urban Pollution: Science and Management</i> is a multifaceted collection of chapters that address the contemporary concomitant issues of increasing urban living and associated issues with contamination by offering solutions specifically for the built environment. It covers: the impacts of urban pollution; historical urban pollution; evolution of air quality policy and management in urban areas; ground gases in urban environments; bioaccessibility of trace elements in urban environments; urban wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal; living green roofs; light pollution; river ecology; greywater recycling and reuse; containment of pollution from urban waste disposal sites; bioremediation in urban pollution mitigation; air quality monitoring; urban pollution in China and India; urban planning in sub–Saharan Africa and more. </p> <ul> <li>Deals with both the science and the relevant policy and management issues</li> <li>Examines the main sources of urban pollution</li> <li>Covers both first-world and developing world urban pollution issues</li> <li>Integrates the latest scientific research with practical case studies</li> <li>Deals with both legacy and emerging pollutants and their effects</li> </ul> <p>The integration of physical and environmental sciences, combined with social, economic and political sciences and the use of case studies makes <i>Urban Pollution: Science and Management</i> an incredibly useful resource for policy experts, scientists, engineers and those interested in the subject.</p>
