PARTICLES IN THE AIR - DOUG BRUGGE KARTONIERT (TB)

The book covers the three largest sources of particulate matter pollution in five chapters.
These sources constitute three of the top ten public health problems in the world today and far
outstrip any other environmental health threats in terms of health impact. The book begins with
indoor solid fuel combustion for cooking in lower income countries and tells the story of how
this problem was identified and recent efforts to eliminate it. The book next looks at tobacco
smoking and second hand smoke  again reviewing the history of how these problems were
identified scientifically and the fierce industry push back against the science. The last two
chapters cover ambient particulate matter in the outdoor air. They address fine and ultrafine
particles  describing the pioneering work on fine PM  the subsequent industry attacks on the
scientists and then the emerging interest and concern about ultrafine particles  an area of
research in which the author has participated. This book is geared towards non-scientists 
including high school and college students.
