SALES #: 01.II.F.14 ISBN: 9211200253 SYMBOL: ST/ESCAP/2040 PAGES: 124pp. PRICE: $17.95 DESCRIPTION: In this publication, the air quality status and trends in the Asia-Pacific region are reviewed with reference to the emerging issues of concern. Although the causes and consequences of air pollution are often of localised nature, there is evidence of transboundary transfer of air pollutants having regional as well as global mplications. The adverse effects of air pollution are more pronounced in developing countries who are struggling with the environmental problems associated with underdevelopment. Furthermore, the pursuit for rapid economic development presents countries in the region with a newer set of environmental problems due to increasing air pollution resulting from industrialisation, urbanisation and motorisation. The report analyzes air quality standards and emission norms as well as policy response and strategies at the national and regional levels. Based on the review, an attempt has been made to outline the action points for an integrated approach towards air quality management.
