5.1: Where air pollution comes from and where it goes

Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Other chapter contribution

Abstract

This section builds on the information in Chapters 2 and 3 for those who would like more detail about the atmospheric chemistry behind how primary pollutants are transformed to secondary pollutants, transported in the air, deposited onto surfaces and broken down in the environment. These stages ultimately determine the spatial reach of a particular pollutant, and how it affects the air that people breathe. Successful mitigation against air pollution requires a good understanding of the processes that determine local levels of pollutants. Throughout this section, outdoor and indoor spaces will be distinguished, since the make-up of pollution as well as the environmental conditions vary widely.
