Reviews

While this book is a fresh entry, it joins multiple volumes devoted to air pollution, all written by the author of this book. The book is succinct, comprehensive, and compelling and I expect it will be broadly adopted for classroom use and as an essential reference. -- (c) Doody's Review Service, John T. Pierce, MBBS(MD) PhD, reviewer, expert opinion
