Air Quality Assessment is an integral component of any environmental management process. It involves not only the identification, monitoring, prediction and evaluation of such critical variables as source emissions and meteorogical conditions, but also potential changes to air quality as a result of emissions from a development and the mitigation and control of these emissions. This work describes the techniques available for an AQA while detailing the concepts and methodologies involved. It reviews: the principles of air quality management; primary sources of air pollution; impact of...
