Download or read book Monitoring Ambient Air Quality for Health Impact Assessment written by World Health Organization. Regional Office for Europe and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 1999 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the principles and methods of air quality assessment aimed at measuring population exposure to ambient air pollutants and estimating the effects on health. Addressed to policy-makers as well as scientists engaged in air quality monitoring, the book responds to the failure of most monitoring systems to provide data that are useful in estimating and managing threats to health. The need for exposure data on populations at special risk is also addressed. Throughout, emphasis is placed on methods of monitoring and modelling that are cost-effective, targeted, and appropriate to local and national conditions. The report has six chapters. The first introduces WHO activities related to air quality management and explains the need for monitoring systems capable of assessing health impact. The types of information required for health impact assessment are described in chapter two, which outlines several methods of monitoring and modelling that can be used to measure the level and distribution of exposure to air pollutants in populations, identify population groups with high exposure, and estimate adverse effects on health. Chapter three formulates a general concept of air quality assessment, offering advice on principles for designing a monitoring network, interpreting and reporting data, and solving problems with quality assurance. Also included is a comparison of the advantages, disadvantages, and costs of different methods for air quality monitoring. Against this background, the fourth and most extensive chapter describes specific methods for the monitoring of carbon monoxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, benzene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, lead, and atmospheric cadmium. Monitoring strategies for each pollutant are presented according to a standard format, which covers health effects, sources and exposure patterns, monitoring methods, recommended strategies for monitoring and assessment, and a practical example. The remaining chapters offer advice on the collation, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data, and summarize the main conclusions and recommendations of the report. Detailed technical guidelines for the use of various methods and models are provided in a series of annexes. The report also reproduces the newly revised WHO air quality guidelines for Europe.

This book was released on 2004-08-30 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing the nation's air quality is a complex undertaking, involving tens of thousands of people in regulating thousands of pollution sources. The authors identify what has worked and what has not, and they offer wide-ranging recommendations for setting future priorities, making difficult choices, and increasing innovation. This new book explores how to better integrate scientific advances and new technologies into the air quality management system. The volume reviews the three-decade history of governmental efforts toward cleaner air, discussing how air quality standards are set and results measured, the design and implementation of control strategies, regulatory processes and procedures, special issues with mobile pollution sources, and more. The book looks at efforts to spur social and behavioral changes that affect air quality, the effectiveness of market-based instruments for air quality regulation, and many other aspects of the issue. Rich in technical detail, this book will be of interest to all those engaged in air quality management: scientists, engineers, industrial managers, law makers, regulators, health officials, clean-air advocates, and concerned citizens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Kansas Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan is updated annually per the Code of Federal Regulations. ... The plan is submitted to EPA by July 1 of each year. The purpose of this plan is to provide evidence the Kansas Ambient Air Monitoring Network meets current federal air monitoring requirements, a periodic assessment of the ambient air monitoring network, including specific information on each monitoring site, and to propose any changes that will take place during the following timeframe: July 1, to June 30, 2021. Staff members in the Bureau of Air, Monitoring and Planning Section operate the Kansas Ambient Air Monitoring Network in cooperation with the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, KS to monitor ambient air quality throughout Kansas. Air quality data allows staff members to determine compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The monitoring data collected, and most current annual emission inventory are used to address ways to reduce pollution levels and to evaluate pollution trends. The year 2020 is proving to be a challenge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ambient air monitoring for certain air pollutants is an essential function of the State of Kansas. Staff members intend to continue quality assurance and quality control tasks in balance with health and safety concerns."-- P. 3.

Download or read book Air Quality Monitoring and Control Strategy written by S.P Singal and published by ALPHA SCIENCE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED. This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AIR QUALITY MONITORING AND CONTROL STRATEGY essentially deals with air quality and underlines a strategy to improve it. To this effect this volume describes briefly the problem of air pollution, impact of various pollutants present in the indoor/outdoor atmosphere on health, the various monitoring techniques/instruments and their practical use, instructions, precautions etc., control instrumentation and environment impact assessment. The answer to questions like the need for air quality monitoring, choice of monitoring location and parameters, averaging time and frequencies etc. has been provided along with the basic statistics required to work out certain statistical figures in air quality. The science of meteorology, an important subject that takes care of dispersion/dilution of air pollutants at a place, has been discussed briefly. A chapter on noise pollution, another vital air toxicant, has also been dealt with to a certain limit. Two case studies have been incorporated to elucidate the importance of EIA and the need to develop a strategy for management of ambient air quality. Revised new standards have also been included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Bureau of Air's, Air Monitoring and Planning Section administers the air monitoring and modeling program and the emissions inventory program. In cooperation with two local agencies, section staff operates the Kansas Ambient Air Monitoring Network, which provides air quality data from 16 sites across the state (Figure 1). The monitoring data is analyzed to determine compliance with federal standards for criteria pollutants and to evaluate air quality trends. In addition, the department has 4 mercury wet deposition monitoring sites located across the state. Staff members also conduct an annual emissions inventory of pollutants emitted from permitted facilities and other sources for the entire state. Staff who conduct air quality modeling use the emission inventory data. Modeling helps to better understand the causes of air pollution and to develop pollution reduction strategies in targeted areas. Such pollution reduction strategies are incorporated into state and regional plans to protect the public health, welfare and environment from the negative effects of air pollution."-- P. [3 of 38].
