• catalog abstract "Annotation * As many as 1 billion people, mostly women and children, are regularly exposed to indoor air pollution levels exceeding WHO guidelines by up to 100 times * Nearly three-fifths of total global exposure to air pollutants occurs in the rural areas of developing countries. Worldwide, this translates into as many as 3 million deaths a year At every level of economic development, ambient air pollution poses a serious challenge that cannot be left to the private initiative This book addresses issues of particular importance to developing countries where polluting activities have been growing, but local research and preventive and protective measures are still at an early stage. Recent decades have seen considerable advances in the epidemiology of air pollution, changes in the international air pollution guidelines, and the emergence of more systematic approaches to air pollution prevention and control. There is an evident gap in the literature on air pollution and health; this book will fill this gap with a coherent series of chapters commissioned from leading researchers in both the scientific and policy dimensions of air pollution and health.".
