Summary: This discussion aims to improve understanding of the underlying processes responsible, which is essential for the development of high quality numerical models of urban air pollutants, which are required for the testing of mitigation strategies prior to implementation. The following topics are covered within this volume: current status and trends in air quality in megacities; physico-chemical processes in the urban atmosphere (neighbourhood scale); physico-chemical processes in the urban atmosphere (city scale); effects, mitigation and policy.
Item Description: A general discussion on air quality in megacities was held as an online virtual event on the 17-20 November 2020.
Carrier Form: 634 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), forms ; 24 cm.
