This book was released on 2003-04-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations: Current Knowledge, Future Needs discusses the need for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement a new method for estimating the amount of ammonia, nitrous oxide, methane, and other pollutants emitted from livestock and poultry farms, and for determining how these emissions are dispersed in the atmosphere. The committee calls for the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a joint council to coordinate and oversee short - and long-term research to estimate emissions from animal feeding operations accurately and to develop mitigation strategies. Their recommendation was for the joint council to focus its efforts first on those pollutants that pose the greatest risk to the environment and public health.

Download or read book Air Pollution Modeling written by Paolo Zannetti and published by Springer. This book was released on 1990 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finishing this book is giving me a mixture of relief, satisfaction and frus tration. Relief, for the completion of a project that has taken too many of my evenings and weekends and that, in the last several months, has become almost an obsession. Satisfaction, for the optimistic feeling that this book, in spite of its many shortcomings and imbalances, will be of some help to the air pollution scientific community. Frustration, for the impossibility of incorporating newly available material that would require another major review of several key chap ters - an effort that is currently beyond my energies but not beyond my desires. The first canovaccio of this book came out in 1980 when I was invited by Computational Mechanics in the United Kingdom to give my first Air Pollution Modeling course. The course material, in the form of transparencies, expanded, year after year, thus providing a growing working basis. In 1985, the ECC Joint Research Center in Ispra, Italy, asked me to prepare a critical survey of mathe matical models of atmospheric pollution, transport and deposition. This support gave me the opportunity to prepare a sort of "first draft" of the book, which I expanded in the following years.
Download or read book Air Pollution written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reported on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) use of air quality models in carrying out the requirements of the Clean Air Act, specifically: (1) the accuracy, adequacy, and cost of the models; (2) the problems and limitations arising from uncertainties associated with the models; and (3) the appropriateness of an agreement between EPA and its contractor for developing a utility-sector air quality analysis model. GAO noted that: (1) EPA is currently evaluating the accuracy of its air quality models and modifications to reduce the level of uncertainty; (2) EPA needs to develop more refined models to fully implement and monitor the air pollution programs under the act; (3) more refined models are more costly; and (4) EPA entered into a cooperative agreement, which does not require delivery of a product, rather than a contract, to obtain a utility-sector model. GAO found that: (1) EPA models overestimated pollutant concentrations, resulting in industry spending millions of dollars on unnecessary pollution control equipment, replacement fuel, and studies to justify increased emissions; (2) EPA does not have the number of models it needs to properly administer the act's requirements; (3) the costs of developing a model range from $50,000 to several million dollars; and (4) a new utility-sector analysis model that was approved for development in 1980, and was expected to be completed in 1983, has not yet been developed.

Download or read book Essentials of Medical Meteorology written by Mladjen Ćurić and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the impacts that weather and climate have on human physical health, longevity, and mental wellness, and acts as a guide to the application of meteorological science in health care. It provides a background on biometeorology by covering basic concepts of human anatomy and meteorology, and how modern biometeorological science can be incorporated into medical practice through diagnosis, prevention and treatment of physical and mental diseases. The recommendations, advice and preventive measures addressed in this book aim to help people adapt to different weather phenomena and changes to minimize negative health consequences, which is increasingly relevant as climate change and its effects on human health become more pronounced and studied. The book is intended for environmental epidemiologists, medical students, physicians, health care providers, climate scientists, insurance industries and policy makers, but will also appeal to general enthusiasts of atmospheric, climate and medical sciences.
Download or read book Air Quality Modelling and Its Applications In Environmental Management written by Zifa Wang and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Quality Modelling and its Applications in Environmental Management provides information about air pollution and its health impacts. Modelling is an essential approach in this field and helps us understand observed features of air pollution, manage air pollution episodes, and understand the health impacts and co-benefits of air pollution mitigation. After a brief overview of air quality modelling, the text works though a comprehensive analysis of its many different applications, including dust, acid rain, ozone sources, and aerosol sources. This section also considers secondary aerosol sources and aerosol microphysics. The editors then explore adaptive grids in air quality modeling as well as modelling biogenic sources of air pollution. The text wraps up with an examination of chemical data assimilation and health risk assessment. This text expertly integrates air quality modelling and its applications towards a better understanding of the essential role of air quality modelling in air pollution management and health risk assessment.

Download or read book Health of People Health of Planet and Our Responsibility written by Wael Al-Delaimy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book not only describes the challenges of climate disruption, but also presents solutions. The challenges described include air pollution, climate change, extreme weather, and related health impacts that range from heat stress, vector-borne diseases, food and water insecurity and chronic diseases to malnutrition and mental well-being. The influence of humans on climate change has been established through extensive published evidence and reports. However, the connections between climate change, the health of the planet and the impact on human health have not received the same level of attention. Therefore, the global focus on the public health impacts of climate change is a relatively recent area of interest. This focus is timely since scientists have concluded that changes in climate have led to new weather extremes such as floods, storms, heat waves, droughts and fires, in turn leading to more than 600,000 deaths and the displacement of nearly 4 billion people in the last 20 years. Previous work on the health impacts of climate change was limited mostly to epidemiologic approaches and outcomes and focused less on multidisciplinary, multi-faceted collaborations between physical scientists, public health researchers and policy makers. Further, there was little attention paid to faith-based and ethical approaches to the problem. The solutions and actions we explore in this book engage diverse sectors of civil society, faith leadership, and political leadership, all oriented by ethics, advocacy, and policy with a special focus on poor and vulnerable populations. The book highlights areas we think will resonate broadly with the public, faith leaders, researchers and students across disciplines including the humanities, and policy makers.
