This textbook discusses engineering principles relating to air pollution and greenhouse gases
(GHGs) it focuses on engineering principles and designs of related devices and equipment for
air emission control for a variety of industries such as energy chemical and transportation
industries. The book aims primarily at senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical
chemical and or environmental engineering departments it can also be used as a reference book
by technical staff and design engineers who are interested in and need to have technical
knowledge in air pollution and GHGs. The book is motivated by recent rapid advances in air
pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and their control technologies. In addition to classic
topics related to air pollution this book is also featured with emerging topics related to air
pollution and GHGs. It covers recent advances in engineering approaches to the reduction of GHG
emissions including but are not limited to green energy technologies and carbon sequestration
and storage. It also introduces an emerging topic in air pollution which is referred to as
Nano Air Pollution. It is a growing concern in air pollution but largely missing in similar
books likely because of recent rapid advances in nanotechnology has outpaced the advances in
nano air pollution control.
