Publisher's Synopsis

In recent years there has been growing international awareness of the detrimental effects of man's activities on his environment, among which are such problems as air pollution, ``acid rain'', and the ``greenhouse effect''. We cannot yet predict with certainty the potential consequences of these man-induced perturbations of the globe's radiation balance, such as climate changes with possible effects on our crops, ecological disturbances, sea level rise, etc. A prime objective today is to reduce the uncertainties with which we can predict future trends, to fill the gaps in our knowledge of a wide range of subjects from atmospheric chemistry via technology to effects of man and on the ecosystem of which he is a part. Hosted by the Society for Clean Air in The Netherlands, the 8th World Clean Air Congress was sponsored by the International Union of Air Pollution Prevention Associations. This set of five volumes contains 369 papers by authors from all parts of the world. The wide range of subjects covered can be seen from the session headings given below and the timely publication of these Proceedings ensures that the wealth of information provided is particularly up-to-date.
