Book excerpt: The interrelationships among different demographic factors, specific causes of death, median family income, and estimated air pollution emissions were examined. Using the Medical Data Base (MEDABA) developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory, the entire population of the United States was cross-tabulated by income and emission levels of air pollutants. Path analysis was used to examine a number of patterns and relationships for each age, race, and sex group containing a minimum of 10,000 persons. Competitive and complementary effects were observed. These effects were frequently age dependent and occasionaly sex related. This specialized data base, the application of path analysis, and the development of a dynamic population and mortality model, in combination, proved to be a useful tool for investigating the effects of energy related pollutants on the exposed population.
Download or read book A Tale of Two Cities A Comparison of Air Pollution Governance in the Los Angeles Area of the USA and the Beijing Tianjin Hebei Area of China written by Xi Wang and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The successful reduction of urban air pollution is among the notable achievements of modern environmental law and policy. This remarkable study, focusing on two of the world’s most prominent cases, explores how people in the areas of Los Angeles and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) established governance processes to combat air pollution and how the major actors in each area worked to make their region a better place to live. Employing the expertise of teams of knowledgeable environmental law experts from both China and the United States, the authors identify and analyze similarities and differences in the respective legal and policy experiences as actors succeeded in greatly improving the air quality of their areas. Underpinned by a model of environmental governance developed by the authors and presenting an abundance of first-hand information from both areas, the study finds that, despite broad political and cultural differences in both regions, three political relations in governance processes emerge as enablers of effective reduction of air pollution: relation between regulators and the regulated communities; relation between all the supervisory political entities, such as legislatures, etc., and regulators; and relation between civil society (including news media and nongovernmental organizations) and polluters. Specific areas of regulation covered include transportation, ports, energy efficiency, utilities, oil refineries, building efficiency, renewable energy, coal dependency, and optimizing energy structure. With its sound, replicable model, its solid findings, and its enlightening conclusions, this incomparable work will prove of immeasurable value to administrative authorities and counsel worldwide engaged in combating air pollution. Moreover, its creative methodology is a signal contribution to the comparative study of environmental law and policy.

Book excerpt: (Cont.) Moving towards greater reliance on expert knowledge is clearly desirable, the key question this dissertation seeks to explore is the rate at which such a move can be made without threatening the legitimacy of a program. The three cases explored here, air pollution, antitrust, and climate change each presents a different set of actors, forum for regulation, and historical legacy. Each poses a dilemma for policy-makers over how to intervene credibly and effectively. The air pollution case and antitrust cases both offer over a century of experience with policy design over multiple jurisdictions. Lessons from history highlight the importance of: experimenting at early stages; tying goals, not instruments, to outcomes; placing instruments at many different causal stages; introducing expert understandings slowly; and anticipating long delays for adaptation or reform. Finally, the difficult case of climate change is presented and the lessons for causal reasoning and goal setting are applied in the hopes of identifying plausible alternative climate policies.

Download or read book Air Quality Guidelines written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents revised guideline values for the four most common air pollutants - particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide - based on a recent review of the accumulated scientific evidence. The rationale for selection of each guideline value is supported by a synthesis of information emerging from research on the health effects of each pollutant. As a result, these guidelines now also apply globally. They can be read in conjunction with Air quality guidelines for Europe, 2nd edition, which is still the authority on guideline values for all other air pollutants. As well as revised guideline values, this book makes a brief yet comprehensive review of the issues affecting the application of the guidelines in risk assessment and policy development. Further, it summarizes information on: . pollution sources and levels in various parts of the world, . population exposure and characteristics affecting sensitivity to pollution, . methods for quantifying the health burden of air pollution, and . the use of guidelines in developing air quality standards and other policy tools. Finally, the special case of indoor air pollution is explored. Prepared by a large team of renowned international experts who considered conditions in various parts of the globe, these guidelines are applicable throughout the world. They provide reliable guidance for policy-makers everywhere when considering the various options for air quality management.
Download or read book A Comparative Study of Laser Methods of Air Pollution Mapping written by R. M. Measures and published by [Toronto]: Institute for Aerospace Studies, University of Toronto. This book was released on 1971 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comparative study has been made of three laser methods of remotely mapping gaseous pollutants of the atmosphere. It has been found that, in the case of NO2 and SO2, Differential Absorption and Scattering has superior performance potential with regard to range and sensitivity than either Laser-Induced Fluorescence or Raman Backscattering. However, because of the sophistication of this system and the difficulty of interpretation, it is strongly recommended that from the long term point of view the fluorescence approach be pursued further as it has a range and sensitivity far superior to Raman backscattering for a given laser power. An analysis of the fluorescence return expected from a local source of NO2 indicates that a plume of about 10 ppm could be detected at a range of several kilometers. However, due to absorption effects, care must be used in the interpretation of signals emanating from local concentrations in excess of about 10 ppm. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of systematically prepared case studies describing the environmental policy ofthirteen countriesin terms ofcapacity-building. Capacity for environmental policy and management, as the concept is used in this volume, has been defined broadly as a society's "ability (...) to devise and implement solutions to environmental issues as part of a wider effort to achieve sustainable development" (OECD). Since the late 1960s capacity-building in environmental policy and management can be observed across the world. It may have made insufficient progress as yet from an environmentalist point of view, but it has produced some remarkable results, and not only in the industrialised world. In the first chapter we present the conceptual framework that underlies the national case studies. In the course ofour research project the authors ofthe book met together twice to discuss this framework in the light of the national experi ences and to harmonise their approaches. In this way we have tried to offer more than a collection of individual and incoherent case studies, focusing only on specific environmental problems, institutions, actors, or instruments. The idea behind this book is to give a systematic, comparative overview ofthe fundamental conditions under which environmental policies is practised in selected countries.
