Beschreibungen
<span>Air and noise pollution often go side by side as also recognised in Air Prevention and Control of Pollution Act, 1981 of India. Air pollution means the presence in the atmosphere of any air pollutant whereas noise is any sound that is loud or unpleasant or causes disturbance and goes beyond 80 decibels. The main ambient air pollutants are particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulphur dioxide, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, lead and toxic organic micro-pollutants, generated from road traffic emissions, commercial and residential combustion, thermal power plants, waste incineration, tobacco smoke, metal processing and other industries. Sources of noise pollution, categorised as industrial and non-industrial, include road traffic, aircraft, railroads, construction, industry, consumer appliances and recreational activities. Both air and noise pollutions are held accountable for a number of severe health impacts such as irritation, burning sensation and allergy of eyes; blood pressure and blood sugar; chronic lung and heart diseases; increased level of lead and other toxic substances; increased level of stress and anxiety, irritability, headaches, loss of hearing, sleep disruption, impaired learning, diminished productivity and more. Present volume of the series includes articles on air pollution monitoring, sampling, analysis, health effects, control strategies and more. Topics being covered in this volume are: o Air pollution monitoring, modeling and control o Determination of air pollution sampling points in industrialized - urban areas o Air pollution from automobiles and strategies for its control o Air quality impact assessment of fluoride emissions from an Aluminium smelter o Assessment of combustion noise emission in a turbocharged diesel engine o Environmental dimensions of fly ash released from thermal power plants o Application of long-memory model underoutliers to air pollution levels o Disinfection of air and surfaces in medicine with aerosolization o Analysis of cigarette smokes by Fourier transform ion resonance mass spectrometry o Firefighters occupational exposure to air pollutant levels and potential health effects o Acoustic of sound propagation, health effects and mitigative measures of noise pollution o Air pollution and impacts o Effects of air pollution on leaves of urban trees The volume 3 contains 13articles from 39 researchers and/or academicians representing 9 nations, namely Argentina, Brazil, France, Greece, India, Mexico, Portugal, Slovenia and Spaingiving an overview of the various research activities being carried out in different parts of the world on Air and Noise Pollution. </span>
<span>Dr. Bhola Ram Gurjar is a Professor in Civil (Environmental Engineering) and Head of Centre for Transportation Systems (CTRANS) at India’s premier technological institution, Indian Institute of Technology – IIT Roorkee. He holds a PhD in the area of Environmental Risk Analysis from India’s premier technological institution I.I.T. Delhi followed by Postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute in Mainz (Germany). He has about 25 years’ progressive professional experience in industry, teaching, training, research, and consultancy. Professor Gurjar has (co)authored / (co)edited nine books and 140 publications in total. He has received several awards and fellowships including the prestigious Advanced Postdoctoral Research Fellowship of the Max Planck Society (Germany) (2002-2005) and UKIERI Grant to visit Univ. of Surrey (U.K.) (Dec. 2012-Jan. 2013). Based on his outstanding research work at the MPIC – Mainz, the Scientific Steering Committee of the global change SysTem for Analysis, Research and Training (START), Washington, D.C., U.S.A., honored him with the 2004 START Young Scientist Award. He has received the American Society of Civil Engineers’ State of the Art of Civil Engineering Award for the year 2014 on the co-edited book “Climate Change Modeling, Mitigation, and Adaptation”. He is also co-recipient of The Nawab Zain Yar Jung Bahadur Memorial Medal (best research paper award) from Environmental Engineering Division of The Institution of Engineers (India), Kolkata, for the year 1995–96. The Institution of Engineers (India)’s National Design and Research Forum (NDRF) has awarded him the National Design Award for Environmental Engineering 2011. Prof. Gurjar is fellow and life member of several professional bodies and organizations and serves them actively. For example, Prof. Gurjar has served the Roorkee Local Centre of The Institution of Engineers (India) as Honorary Secretary and Chairman from 2010-2012 and 2012-2014, respectively. Recently, recognizing his significant contribution in the discipline of Environmental Engineering, the Environmental Division Board of the Institution of Engineers (India) has conferred on him the Award of Eminent Environmental Engineer during the Inaugural Session of 31st National Convention of Environmental Engineers held on 6th November, 2015 in Chandigarh, India. He has also received The Institution of Engineers (India) Uttarakhand State Centre’s Eminent Engineers Award – 2014. The award was conferred by the Hon. Chief Minister of Uttarakhand on 3rd February 2016 in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Dr. Gurjar is among the leading academics and researchers who have worked extensively in the area of environmental science and engineering specially focused on air and water pollution, and environmental quality and health risk assessment, which is reflected in his several highly cited research papers published on these themes.</span>
