Elements of Smog Monitoring and Mitigation

Elements of Smog Monitoring and Mitigation provides an overview of the sources and processes of smog formation in industrial and agricultural areas, along with its monitoring and mitigation. Chapters describe the past, present, and future scenario of smog effects on human health and the economy while also describing the regulatory frameworks of smog prevention, mitigation, and control. This is followed by an analysis of the physics and chemistry of smog, including precursor conditions and pollutants. Later chapters cover big data and its utilization in the modeling of smog formation, locations, and patterns for preventive and decision-making measures. Additional sections cover various models and techniques for smog and air quality monitoring, small scale devices for monitoring of smog precursors from agricultural and industrial sources, the agricultural sources and mitigation practices of smog, and prevention techniques and technologies from industrial sources, including recent advances in smog and its precursor mitigation such as nano technology and chemical and physical means of smog abatement.
