Research in Air Pollution: Current Trends

Abstract

Air pollution has been recognized as one of our major environmental health problems, but much about it requires investigation. A review of current research trends is presented in terms of two over-all categories: medical-biological and physical-engineering. As more is learned, the nature of the problems becomes clearer, and it becomes possible to approach further investigation and control of air pollution more rationally.

Determining Reduced-Emission Goals Needed to Achieve Air Quality Goals— A Hypothetical Case

“…Large reductions in emissions from mobile sources (Table V) would be needed to achieve the air quality goals listed in Table I. Ludwig and Steigerwald 33 envision three phases for achieving such vehicle-emission control:…”
