Author Description

The Urban Air Quality Management Strategy (URBAIR) was started to assist local institutions in developing action plans that would be an integral part of their air quality management system. Intended for use in conjunction with four city-specific city reports--Mumbai (Bombay), Jakarta, Kathmandu, and Metro Manila--this guidebook provides details on air quality modeling, choices of abatement measures, and how cost-benefit analysis is used to choose appropriate measures. It summarizes the components of an action plan to manage and control air pollution. Planners and engineers will find it a valuable sourcebook for technical assistance.
