Anthem Advances in Atmospheric Environment Science – serie

Air pollution affects us all in a number of crucial ways, causing lasting damage to our health and our environment. While primary pollution can result from local activities, the extent of the impact can be felt at spatial scales from the individual up to the whole planet and temporal scales from minutes to decades. Consequently, pollution of our atmosphere remains a critical concern, warranting continued scientific investigation and the development of effective local and global solutions. ‘The World Atlas of Atmospheric Pollution’ clearly and engagingly summarises current understanding of the state of air pollution on city to global scales.

‘The Atlas of Climate Change Impact on European Cultural Heritage’ aims to reveal the links between climate science and the potential damage to our material heritage. While the vulnerability atlas shows overall patterns of threat, greater detail about the scientific basis of the project can be found in the appendices, which give some background to the underlying science.
