Summary

Containing the papers accepted for the nineteenth International Conference on Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution, Air Pollution XIX provides an important record of the development of science and policy with regard to air pollution. The conference, held on Malta in September 2011, is the latest in a series of annual conferences organized by the Wessex Institute of Technology since 1993. Science remains the key to identifying the nature and scale of air pollution impacts and is essential to informed decision-making regarding public policy. Continuous improvements in our knowledge of the fundamental science of air pollution and its application are necessary if we are to properly predict, assess and mitigate the air pollution implications of emissions to the atmosphere. Science must also be able to provide evidence of improvements to air quality that result from implementation of the mitigation measures or the control regulations that are implemented. The results of scientific investigations must be peer-reviewed, but they must also be translatable into a format suitable to assist policy makers in reaching sustainable decisions and to build public acceptance and understanding of the nature and scale of the air pollution problem. The volume brings together peer-reviewed papers by scientists and policy-makers from around the world presenting recent work on various aspects of air pollution phenomena, many of them collaborative efforts.
