About this Unit
Air Pollution and Control introduces students with an interest in working in the fields of environmental
science, environmental consulting, environmental management and environmental health to the basic
principles and practices of air quality assessment and management. Air pollution does not recognise
socio-political boundaries, and air pollutants transfer intercontinentally through pathways both close to
the Earth’s surface and upper atmosphere. Air Quality management represents a major challenge
facing humanity because it poses a threat to human health, agriculture and environmental
sustainability, as it can penetrate even remote and once pristine environments. As such, air pollution
management and control is of International, National, State and Local government and community
concern. This unit critically analyses the natural and anthropogenic sources of air pollution, their nature,
health and environmental impacts, monitoring, regulation and control.
