Transboundary Air Pollution

Scientific Understanding and Environmental Policy in Europe

This book describes current scientific understanding of European transboundary air pollution starting with an historical account.

The way the science has become a driving force for policy action, including the models used, the economic instruments and complexity of science-policy interaction, are dealt with in some detail.

The book closes by treating expected future trends, including the accumulating evidence of intercontinental transport of air pollutants and the globalisation of air pollution management related to its strong links with climate change.

The primary target group of this book is university students in environmental science and related areas. It is also likely to be of interest to professionals working in environmental administration, in particular those with emphasis on air pollution.
