Combating air pollution - for iPod/iPhone
by The Open University
What’s in the air you breathe and how do you know it’s safe? Pollution control is vital since nobody has a choice when it comes to inhaling the air around them. This album introduces the scientific processes behind air monitoring and air quality management. The five video tracks explore the nature of pollution arising from different forms of transport, and look at how data is interpreted and how pollutants can be minimised. To complete the album, Senior Lecturer Rod Barratt explains the choice of some of the case studies provided, and unpicks the issues that emerge, while Dr Suresh Nesaratnam gives an overview of The Open University course. This material forms part of The Open University course T210 Environmental control and public health.
