This book presents cutting-edge research findings on environmental pollution and remediation, covering key areas such as pollution analysis and monitoring, as well as pollution control and restoration. At the 2024 UN Environment Assembly, environmental pollution and remediation were once again defined as one of the three major crises facing the planet. The global environmental pollution issue remains severe; despite the efforts of many countries and regions, the situation is still far from optimistic. Issues such as heavy metals and radioactive contamination in seawater are gradually becoming significant topics in environmental pollution. Accurate composition analysis and effective remediation strategies are essential in addressing pollution, and enhancing the accuracy of pollutant source analysis and the effectiveness of harmless pollution management are key subjects of discussion in this book. Furthermore, the book aims to facilitate the exchange of scientific information among scholars from leading universities, research centers, and high-tech enterprises around the world. This book will be highly beneficial to scholars, engineers, and researchers in the fields of environmental engineering and environmental remediation.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs), which are parallel computational models, comprising of interconnected adaptive processing units (neurons) have the capability to predict accurately the dispersive behavior of vehicular pollutants under complex environmental conditions. This book aims at describing step-by-step procedure for formulation and development of ANN based VP models considering meteorological and traffic parameters. The model predictions are compared with existing line source deterministic/statistical based models to establish the efficacy of the ANN technique in explaining frequent dispersion complexities in urban areas.

The book is very useful for hardcore professionals and researchers working in problems associated with urban air pollution management and control.

This contributed volume is primarily intended for graduate and professional audiences. The book provides a basic understanding of urban air quality issues, root causes for local and urban air pollution, monitoring and modelling techniques, assessment, and control options to manage air quality at local and urban scale. The book also offers useful information on indoor air quality and smart sensors, which are gaining much importance in current times.
