Product Description
With the prospect of new layers of complexity being added to air pollution controls, and with electricity restructuring putting a premium on economic efficiency, interest is being expressed in finding mechanisms to achieve health and environmental goals in simpler, more cost-effective ways. The electric utility industry is a major source of air pollution, particularly sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and mercury (Hg), as well as unregulated greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). At issue is whether a new approach to environmental protection could achieve the nation's air quality goals more cost-effectively than the current system. One approach being proposed is a 'multi-pollutant' strategy - a framework based on a consistent set of emissions caps, implemented through emissions trading. Just how the proposed approach would fit with the current (and proposed) diverse regulatory regimes remains to be worked out; they might be replaced to the greatest extent feasible, or they might be overlaid by the framework of emissions caps. This book summarises the most recent evaluation of the status and trends in our nation's air quality.This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access. ...

Product Description
This is the proceedings of the Second International Conferenceon Urban Air Quality -- Measurement, Modelling and Management,held at the Technical University of Madrid, 3--5 March 1999.

This book contains peer-reviewed papers on the latest advances in theurban air quality research field. This book will be suitable forresearchers including students, consultants, local authority officers(such as environmental officers), and environmental scientists workingin industrial sectors (chemical, environmental, and transport). Veryfew scientific international conferences specifically address the areaof air pollution in cities and towns. This is despite the growingconcern about the health and environmental impacts that result fromair pollutants in urban areas. The need to have a forum for discussingand exchanging scientific results in this field is hence overwhelming.

It is clear from the response of scientists and other experts workingin this area that these UAQ conferences are helping to address thisneed. ... Read more

Product Description
A healthy indoor environment is an important attribute for all buildings, no less so theSydney Olympics venues which will cater for the world's elite athletes at the peak of theirperformance. Indoor Air Quality is accepted as a key design input for Sydney Olympicsstructures, products and services.However, the range of factors influencing Indoor AirQuality and the approaches to deal with them are complex and not easily prescribed.

This report provides guidelines for building designers/specifiers and material suppliers onthe major factors and control options important to Indoor Air Quality in Australianbuildings. As a guideline, it does not recommend specific courses of action but provides information from which appropriateactions can be decided. While focussed on the Sydney Olympic venues, the guidelinesare applicable to any buildings and will be useful to a diverse range of organisations andindividuals involved in the building industry. ...
