Elements of Smog Monitoring and Mitigation provides an overview of the sources and processes of smog formation in industrial as well as agricultural areas, together with its monitoring and mitigation. The first section contains six chapters and mainly focus on introduction, monitoring and modelling of smog. The first chapter describes the past, present and future scenario of smog effects on human health and the economy. The book then goes on to describe the regulatory framework of smog prevention, mitigation and control. This is followed by an analysis of the physics and chemistry of smog, including precursor conditions and pollutants. Later chapters cover: big data and its utilization in the modelling of smog formation; locations and patterns for preventive and decision making measures; the various models and techniques for smog and air quality monitoring; the small scale devices for monitoring of smog precursors from agricultural and industrial sources. Section 2 of the book deals with the agricultural sources and mitigation practices of smog. Section 3 deals with the prevention techniques and technologies from industrial sources. It describes the recent advances in smog and its precursor mitigation including nano technology, chemical and physical means of smog abatementDiscusses smog formation and hazards in the context of the world's changing climateReviews recent advances in the monitoring of air qualityDiscusses advances in material synthesis, nano sensors, and nano reactions for smog monitoring and mitigationProvides a comprehensive overview of of smog generation and its mitigation strategies
