Reliable and comparable air quality data are critical to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation and enforcement efforts. Through 1986, an estimated $248 billion will be expended for air pollution abatement programs. Although progress has been made in improving air quality, EPA efforts to develop a standardized, comprehensive air monitoring system have been slow and often ineffective. Because of a delay in the promulgation of recent regulations, implementation of such a system will probably not be achieved until the mid-1980's. The reliability of some of the air quality data currently used to assess national progress toward standards, develop trends, and establish control strategies is questionable. Of 243 monitoring stations reviewed, 81 percent had one or more problems, such as incorrect situation of the monitors or equipment in use which was not EPA-certified, which could adversely affect the reliability of data. These problems stem from the fact that monitoring is being carried out by state and local agencies, using systems originally designed to meet their individual needs.

Download The Invisible Killer Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
An urgent examination of one of the biggest global crises facing us today--air pollution--looking at the drastic worsening of the problem, and what we can do about it. "Fascinating, readable, and terrifying in equal measure." —Mark Lynas, author of Six Degrees The air pollution that we breathe every day is largely invisible—but it is killing us. How did it get this bad, and how can we stop it? Far from a modern-day problem, scientists were aware of the impact of air pollution as far back as the seventeenth century. Now, as more of us live in cities, we are closer than ever to pollution sources, and the detrimental impact on the environment and our health has reached crisis point. The Invisible Killer will introduce you to the incredible individuals whose groundbreaking research paved the way to today's understanding of air pollution, often at their own detriment. Gary Fuller's global story examines devastating incidents from London's Great Smog to Norway's acid rain; Los Angeles's traffic problem to wood-burning damage in New Zealand. Fuller argues that the only way to alter the future course of our planet and improve collective global health is for city and national governments to stop ignoring evidence and take action, persuading the public and making polluters bear the full cost of the harm that they do. The decisions that we make today will impact on our health for decades to come. The Invisible Killer is an essential book for our times and a cautionary tale we need to take heed of.

A leading authority in the field takes readers on a fascinating and surprising journey through the atmosphere—from our lungs to outer space—that will leave readers breathless. With seven million early deaths each year linked to air pollution, air quality is headline news around the world. But even though we breathe in and out every few seconds, few of us really know what’s in the air all around us. In Every Breath You Take, air quality specialist—and full-time breather—Dr. Mark Broom connects the dots from the atmosphere on distant planets to the holes in the ozone layer to the particles in our lungs. How do we measure air pollution and what on earth is an odor panel? Why are property prices higher upwind of cities? And will our grandchildren inherit an atmosphere worth breathing? With keen insights on the atmospheric effects of climate change, industrial air pollution, and urbanization in the twenty-first century, Every Breath You Take combines the latest scientific research with Mark’s personal stories to answer these questions and many more in a readable and surprising journey through the atmosphere.
