Asian Atmospheric Pollution: Sources, Characteristics, and Impacts is a comprehensive and concise guide to pollution and air quality monitoring across all of Asia. It focuses on key regions of the world and delves into various sources, their transport mechanisms, long-term variability, and impacts on climate at local and regional scales. The book also discusses the feedback on pollutants on different meteorological parameters, such as radiative forcing, fog formations, precipitation, cloud characteristics, and more.

Drawing upon the expertise of numerous well-known authors from different countries, the book includes sections dedicated to the treatment of pollutant sources, the study of pollutants and trace gases using satellite/station-based observations and models, transport mechanisms, seasonal and inter-annual variability, and impacts on climate, health, and the biosphere in general.

Asian Atmospheric Pollution: Sources, Characteristics, and Impacts serves as a valuable resource for scientists and students seeking to understand the sources and dynamics of atmospheric pollution, as well as their transport from one continent to another. It helps the atmospheric modeling community model different scenarios of pollution, gauge its short-term and long-term impacts across regional to global scales, and better understand the ramifications of episodic events.
