    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Atmospheric Pollution and Environmental Change is an introduction to the major pollutants causing concern today, a description of their sources and how their emissions and concentrations have changed through time.



    Approaching atmospheric change in the context of its effects on the natural environment, people and the global climate system, Atmospheric Pollution and Environmental Change examines:



    Â?Atmospheric pollution at global, continental and local scales



    Â?The development of policy at national and international levels



    Â?The uses of computer models to help us understand and forecast the behaviour of pollutants and their impacts



    Â?The success (or otherwise) of policies designed to reduce air pollution and the prospects for the future.



    With extensive references to useful web sites and further reading, Atmospheric Pollution and Environmental Change will be of great benefit to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students.

    'This book is an authoritative but accessible synthesis of environmental pollution as a major cause of environmental change ... ...a very useful book that addresses many of the issues covered by atmospheric pollution in a very accessible way... I found this book as complete and informative as possible and of utmost importance to interested readers, whatever their background or motivations.'


    International Journal of Environment and Pollution

    "I found this book an excellent introduction to the topic with a highly informative distillation of some key observed trends and future model predictions."
