Download or read book Introduction to Air in California written by David Carle and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2006-10-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is air? Why is the sky blue? Why do people react favorably to mountain or sea air? How does desert air differ from the air of California’s Central Valley? How is air pollution affecting plants and animals? This book is a unique guide to the air we breathe in California. More than a natural history guide, it approaches this fascinating topic by recognizing the overwhelming role played by humans in the story of California’s air. In a highly engaging style, David Carle explains daily weather patterns, seasonal climate, characteristic winds, and sky phenomena. He explores air as the gases in our atmosphere, but also considers the aspects of air that influence all of our senses—its taste, smell, feel, and look. The guide discusses California’s history of air quality management, air pollution and its effect on humans and the environment, and the technological and individual measures needed to address these challenges. The book also functions as a handbook for more environmentally conscious living by providing information on alternative energy sources for consumers and tips for cleaner running cars. * Features 80 color photographs, 23 figures, 18 maps * Covers regional differences of topography, weather, and the character of the air in California’s fifteen designated air basins * Includes a field guide to the sky, explaining color and light, clouds and wind, and the nature of flight * Addresses issues surrounding global climate change in California A book in the Californians and Their Environment subseries, dedicated to understanding human influences on the state's ecology and natural resources

Book excerpt: A new generation of the source-oriented UCD/CIT air quality model was developed and applied to (1) investigate the impacts of diagnostic vs. prognostic meteorological fields on predicted particulate matter (PM) concentrations, (2) quantify the contribution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from livestock feed to ozone (O3) formation, and (3) estimate primary PM exposure fields from ~900 sources for use in epidemiological studies. Diagnostic meteorological fields produced more accurate air quality predictions than the WRF prognostic fields during the winter episode of the California Regional PM10/PM2.5 Air Quality Study (CRPAQS), suggesting that diagnostic meteorological fields generated by a dense measurement network are the preferred choice for air quality model studies during relatively short stagnation periods in locations with complex topography. VOCs emitted from livestock feed contributed ~3.5 tons of the ground level peak O3 (8-hr average) in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV), and mobile VOC contributed ~12 tons in the 2000 summer episode of the Central California Ozone Study (CCOS). Primary PM0.1, PM1., and PM2.5 concentrations from ~900 sources predicted across California for a 7 year period (2000-06) are in good agreement with measured concentrations for EC and 9 trace elements in the PM2.5 size range and for mass and EC in the PM0.1 size range. Source apportionment results from the mechanistic air quality model are likewise in good agreement with receptor-based source apportionment calculations. The continuous PM0.1 and PM2.5 fields predicted by the source-oriented air quality model provide new information on trace composition and source origin of airborne particulate matter that will support future epidemiological studies for the health effects of air pollution.

Download or read book Ecosystems of California written by Harold Mooney and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 1008 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-anticipated reference and sourcebook for CaliforniaÕs remarkable ecological abundance provides an integrated assessment of each major ecosystem typeÑits distribution, structure, function, and management. A comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about this biologically diverse state, Ecosystems of California covers the state from oceans to mountaintops using multiple lenses: past and present, flora and fauna, aquatic and terrestrial, natural and managed. Each chapter evaluates natural processes for a specific ecosystem, describes drivers of change, and discusses how that ecosystem may be altered in the future. This book also explores the drivers of CaliforniaÕs ecological patterns and the history of the stateÕs various ecosystems, outlining how the challenges of climate change and invasive species and opportunities for regulation and stewardship could potentially affect the stateÕs ecosystems. The text explicitly incorporates both human impacts and conservation and restoration efforts and shows how ecosystems support human well-being. Edited by two esteemed ecosystem ecologists and with overviews by leading experts on each ecosystem, this definitive work will be indispensable for natural resource management and conservation professionals as well as for undergraduate or graduate students of CaliforniaÕs environment and curious naturalists.

Download or read book Climate Change the Indoor Environment and Health written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The indoor environment affects occupants' health and comfort. Poor environmental conditions and indoor contaminants are estimated to cost the U.S. economy tens of billions of dollars a year in exacerbation of illnesses like asthma, allergic symptoms, and subsequent lost productivity. Climate change has the potential to affect the indoor environment because conditions inside buildings are influenced by conditions outside them. Climate Change, the Indoor Environment, and Health addresses the impacts that climate change may have on the indoor environment and the resulting health effects. It finds that steps taken to mitigate climate change may cause or exacerbate harmful indoor environmental conditions. The book discusses the role the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should take in informing the public, health professionals, and those in the building industry about potential risks and what can be done to address them. The study also recommends that building codes account for climate change projections; that federal agencies join to develop or refine protocols and testing standards for evaluating emissions from materials, furnishings, and appliances used in buildings; and that building weatherization efforts include consideration of health effects. Climate Change, the Indoor Environment, and Health is written primarily for the EPA and other federal agencies, organizations, and researchers with interests in public health; the environment; building design, construction, and operation; and climate issues.
