Introduction --; Tropospheric Ozone --; Emissions of Ozone Precursors --; Emission Abatement Measures --; Scenarios of Future Development --; Modeling Results --; Optimizing Regional Ozone Reduction Strategies --; Tropospheric Ozone and Urban Air Quality --; Economic Instruments and Burden Sharing --; Economic Impacts of Abatement Strategies.-Conclusions.
This book offers information and aids in decision-making for those concerned with air pollution in Europe, especially tropospheric ozone. It covers the analysis of ozone precursor emissions and the transport and chemical transformation of precursor substances in Europe and gives insight into the integrated assessment of air pollution control strategies. The analysis covers atmospheric dispersion modeling as well as cost optimization and the modeling of macroeconomic impacts of air pollution control. Thus, it addresses practioners dealing with the implementation of environmental policy and regulations as well as scientists and researchers interested in the methodology and integrated approach.
