Environmental Pollution and its Relation to Climate Change

Editor: Ahmed El Nemr
Series: Pollution Science, Technology, and Abatement

The Industrial Revolution brought prosperity and social changes that altered the direction of nations. The extensive use of coal as an energy source and the accompanied severe water, air and soil pollution was the downside of such industrial proliferation. This was followed in the second millennium by different kind of pollution again derived from the combustion of oil and, in particular, vehicle fuels. The pollution problem relating to vehicle use widely varies from country to country and from one town or city to another and is dictated not just by the volume of traffic but also by the prevailing weather conditions. The range of pollutants produced is also wide although oxides of nitrogen, carbon, ozone, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and suspended particulates appear to be the most important. The Industrial Revolution introduced wide varieties of pollutants to the water, air and soil. Most of these pollutants have adverse effects on many biological systems including trees, grassland, arable crops and farm animals. Also, this severe pollution has an impact on human health and on the earth’s climate, leading to the introduction of stringent emission control measures in many countries with attendant improvement in impacts of these pollutants. The purpose of this review book is to document the latest research in the climate change field and its relation to pollution.
