Derek Elsom is Professor of Climatology at Oxford Brookes University and author of Atmospheric Pollution: A Global problem (1992)
The world's cities are choking on pollution from traffic and industry. With
the health of over 1.6 billion people under threat, poor urban air quality
is fast becoming one of them most pressing environmental problems of our
times.
Smog Alert examines the causes and scale of urban air pollution,
identifying who is most at risk, and what particular health risks various
pollutants pose. It then considers an effective framework for air quality
management, so that national and city authorities can consider what
pollution control polices and measures are needed to deliver healthy urban
air quality, and to sustain it in the future. Having established the
background and framework, the book examines the existing and alternative
measures to monitor and combat the declining air quality. It assesses smog
alert systems; the potential for cleaner car and fuel technology;
sustainable traffic management and public transport policies; and methods
of controlling both industrial and residential emissions.
Detailed case studies illustrate the severity and breadth of the problem -
from the first serious photochemical smogs in Los Angeles to the dire
warning offered by Mexico City; and from London (the city which coined the
word 'smog') to Athens' pollution phenomenon, the 'nefos'. Drawing on the
lessons learned from past experience, Smog Alert provides a comprehensive
analysis of how health air quality may yet be achieved in the world's
cities.
