Containing the papers presented at the twentieth in a series of annual International Conferences dealing with Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution this proceedings deals with advances in a wide variety of topics. These include: Air pollution modelling; Air quality management; Air pollution problems in Thailand; Emission studies; Indoor air pollution; Monitoring and measuring; Air pollution mitigation; Health effects; Innovative technologies; Carbon sequestration.

The proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution, builds upon the prestigious outcomes of the 21 preceding meetings beginning in 1993.Topics covered include: Air pollution modelling; Air pollution mitigation; Air pollution management; Aerosols and particles; Emission studies.

Air Pollution is widespread and a growing challenge to the international community, with known impacts on local and global health and the environment. Governments face a need to balance concern over these impacts with maintaining or improving economic development. Science is the key to identifying the nature and scale of air pollution impacts and is essential in the formulation of effective policies and regulations. Our knowledge of the fundamental science of air pollution and its application continues to improve, enabling us to better predict, assess and mitigate the air pollution implications to local, regional, national and international economic systems.This book contains papers presented at the nineteenth meeting in a series of annual International Conferences dealing with Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution. The papers deal with advances in a wide variety of topics, including: Air Pollution Modelling; Air Quality Management; Aerosols and Particles; Emissions Studies; Global and Regional; Economics of Air Pollution Control; Health Effects.

Arctic atmospheric pollution is now a major international issue. This volume presents the most authoritative review of this increasingly important subject for an audience of both scientists and administrators concerned with worldwide, as well as polar, pollution problems. Arctic Air Pollution is an edited collection of papers, first presented at a conference helo as the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge in 1985. Building on foundations established at earlier meetings, this volume examines the problem of Arctic air pollution in an integrated, multidisciplinary fashion, with contributions from leading authorities in chemistry, ecology, climatology and epidemiology. To chemists, physicists and climatologists, it presents scientific problems. Ecologists are concerned with environmental threats; medical researchers with potential threats to human health. International lawyers and administrators are concerned with the legal implications of pollutants transferred across continents. Overall hangs the major question; can man-made pollution affect the delicate energy balance of the Arctic, and precipitate major climatic change worldwide?

Der Verfasser skizziert zunächst die Funktion der VDI-Kommission 'Reinhaltung der Luft' und diskutiert die rechtliche Qualität technischer Regelwerke in der Bundesrepublik. Er untersucht im folgenden die Stellung der VDI-Kommission als Träger öffentlicher Aufgaben und analysiert ihre Handlungsmöglichkeiten im Kräftefeld zwischen Staat und Industrie, die diesen Möglichkeiten zugrundeliegenden Funktionsbedingungen sowie die Grenzen einer privat organisierten Normbildung. Hierzu werden Tätigkeitsfelder und Organisation der Kommission, Funktionsbedingungen der Richtlinienarbeit, Beteiligungsmotive der Sachverständigen und Mechanismen der Entscheidungsfindung behandelt. Die intermediäre Stellung der Kommission und die Sanktionsgewalt des Staates werden als Voraussetzungen eines erfolgreichen Interessenausgleichs herausgearbeitet. (WZ)
