Air pollution is a condition when the Earth's atmosphere or environment contains excessive quantities of harmful substances including gases, particles and biological molecules. The sources of air pollution can be broadly divided into natural sources and man-made sources. Some of the natural sources are dust, methane emitted by animals and radon gas from radioactive decay in the Earth's crust. A few of the man-made sources are fossil fuel power stations and motor vehicles. Air pollution can cause serious diseases, allergies and even death among humans. It also harms other living organisms like animals and affects food crops. Air pollution can also damage natural and built environment. The topics included in this textbook on air pollution are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Different approaches, evaluations and studies related to this problem have been included in this book. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.

Oil Spill Environmental Forensics Case Studies
<p><i>Oil Spill Environmental Forensics Case Studies</i> includes 34 chapters that serve to present various aspects of environmental forensics in relation to "real-world" oil spill case studies from around the globe. Authors representing academic, government, and private researcher groups from 14 countries bring a diverse and global perspective to this volume.</p> <p><i>Oil Spill Environmental Forensics Case Studies</i> addresses releases of natural gas/methane, automotive gasoline and other petroleum fuels, lubricants, vegetable oils, paraffin waxes, bitumen, manufactured gas plant residues, urban runoff, and, of course, crude oil, the latter ranging from light Bakken shale oil to heavy Canadian oil sands oil. New challenges surrounding forensic investigations of stray gas in the shallow subsurface, volatiles in air, dissolved chemicals in water (including passive samplers), and biological tissues associated with oil spills are included, as are the effects and long-term oil weathering, long-term monitoring in urbanized and non-urbanized environments, fate and transport, forensic historical research, new analytical and chemical data processing and interpretation methods. </p>
