Air Pollution

*Air Pollution* is a textbook and reference work co-authored by V. P. Kudesia and Manika Barar. Published in print by **Pragati Prakashan**, the volume is designed for undergraduate students, postgraduate scholars, and researchers in Chemistry, Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, and related technical disciplines. The text offers a systematic, application-oriented overview of atmospheric chemistry, environmental pollution, and air quality management, with analytical emphasis placed on the regulatory and ecological landscape of India alongside global sustainability frameworks. The textbook covers a broad range of core meteorological and atmospheric topics, including ozone chemistry, atmospheric kinetics, thermodynamics, and the greenhouse effect. It details the dynamics of various pollution vectors, such as photochemical smog, industrial emissions, noise pollution, indoor air quality, odour pollution, and the toxicity of heavy metals. The authors also address specialized environmental hazards, including nitrosamines as environmental carcinogens, chlorinated dioxins, and the environmental impact of methyl isocyanate. Methodologically, the text examines sampling and analysis tec
