Air Pollution and Health in Rapidly Developing Countries

Gordon McGranahan

0/5 ( ratings)

As many as one billion people are regularly exposed to indoor air pollution levels exceeding WHO guidelines by up to 100 times. This book addresses issues of particular importance to developing countries where polluting activies have been growing, but local research and preventive and protective measures are at an early stage. There have been considerable advances in the epidemiology of air pollution, changes in the international air pollution guidelines and the emergence of more systematic approaches to air pollution prevention and control. This text is intended to fill a gap in the literature on air pollution and health. The chapters have been commissioned from leading researchers in both the scientific and policy areas of air pollution and health.
