Traditionally, air pollution has been a concern mainly in terms of its impacts on human health, and it is still an immediate public and governmental concern in most Asian countries. However, in recent years so-called extreme weather events, such as stronger tropical cyclones, flooding, drought, and other phenomena, have been manifested causing tremendous losses of human lives and properties. Importantly, climate models tell us that such extreme weather events are actually induced by anthropogenic global warming. It has been pointed out that mitigation or alleviation of such climate change leading to the extreme weather events in the next 30 years can be possible only by reducing air pollutants with positive radiative forcing such as ozone or methane, which are called short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Here, concerns about mitigation of air pollutants from the points of human health and climate change have merged. This book covers different kinds of air pollutants and radiative forcers and how they can be measured. It also mentions the situation of air pollutants in different continents and their regional impacts to human health, environment and economy as well as their link to extreme weather events. The book presents how the air pollution and climate change can be mitigated and how clean air technologies and international initiatives for co-controlling air pollution and climate change have been developed Notes 2.1 Scientific Advisory Group for Aerosols Includes index Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 13, 2023) Subject Air -- Pollution -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Air -- Pollution -- Measurement -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Air -- Pollution -- Health aspects -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Air quality -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Air quality -- Health aspects -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Ecosystem health -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Climatic changes -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Air -- Pollution Air -- Pollution -- Health aspects Air -- Pollution -- Measurement Air quality Air quality -- Health aspects Climatic changes Ecosystem health Genre/Form handbooks.
