BookSeries: Energy, Environment, and Sustainability. / edited by Avinash Kumar Agarwal and Ashok Pandey.Publisher: Singapore Springer 2018Description: xiv, 260p.ISBN: 9789811071843.Subject(s): Air -- Pollution | Air quality managementDDC classification: 628.53 | Ai71 Summary: This book focuses on various aspects related to air pollution, including major sources of air pollution, measurement techniques, modeling studies and solution approaches to control. The book also presents case studies on measuring air pollution in major urban areas, such as Delhi, India. The book examines vehicles as a source of air pollution and addresses the quantitative analysis of engine exhaust emissions. Subsequent chapters discuss particulate matter from engines and coal-fired power plants as a major pollutant, as well as emission control techniques using various after treatment systems. The book’s final chapter considers future perspectives and a way forward for sustainable development. It also discusses several emission control techniques that will gain relevance in the future, when stricter emission norms will be enforced for international combustion (IC) engines as well as power plants. Given its breadth of coverage, the book will benefit a wide variety of readers, including researchers, professionals, and policymakers.
