Advances in Environmental Monitoring and Assessment

Over the past decade, only a few countries in Europe and Central Asia have been able to maintain existing monitoring activities. The monitoring of urban air pollution — an important human health risk — is poor in many cities of the subregion. Solid and hazardous waste monitoring is weak and industrial emissions are also not well monitored, reducing the effectiveness of policy instruments such as emissions charges and fines. Monitoring of transboundary air pollution also needs strengthening. The book covers the design and development of monitoring systems. It also describes methods and procedures for pollution risk assessment.
