Urban and Global Effects of Megacity Pollution

Abstract

Megacities and other large urban areas can often be associated with poor air quality. In the developed world, stricter emissions control legislation has resulted in dramatic improvements in urban air quality. Future emissions scenarios project that this will also spread to the developing world. A result of this will be that air quality in urban areas will become more influenced by emissions from outside of these areas. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013.
