This book deals with the characteristics and dynamics of non-criteria pollutants. It stems from work on the Airborne Toxic Element and Organic Substances (ATEOS) project, and reports the results and conclusions from studies in urban environments. Topics covered include the following: project design; composition and distribution of particulate mass fractions; volatile organic compounds; particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; air pollution episodes in the 1980s - their nature and significance; mutagenicity of inhalable particulate matter; identifying sources of air pollutants and estimating sources; and regulatory implications.
