Synopsis

A rigorous blueprint for designing, monitoring, and governing cleaner urban atmospheres with engineering-first precision

Engineering Air Quality Solutions: Measurement, Control, and Infrastructure Innovations by Sneha Gautam and Ajay Taneja offers up-to-date solutions for many of the hardest problems at the nexus of pollution science, civil systems, and policy. Drs. Gautam and Taneja draw on their extensive expertise in environmental science to offer an authoritative playbook that spans sensors, models, materials, and regulatory practice. The result is a technically exacting guide to measuring, predicting, and reducing pollution across buildings, industry, and cities.

Across nine tightly edited chapters, the book progresses from problem framing to implementation: the health and infrastructure stakes of polluted air, the climate-air nexus and design responses, remote and ground-based monitoring architectures, high-performance ventilation and IAQ engineering, pollution-resistant materials, CFD and data-driven dispersion modeling, AI/IoT for smart-city control loops, industrial emissions engineering, and compliance with global regulatory standards.

Each chapter combines methods, algorithms, and case evidence, culminating in a practitioner-ready set of tools you can deploy today in planning, design, and operations. The book also:

• Quantifies climate impacts on urban pollutant behavior, including heat islands, weather variability, and risk from extreme events, and translates them into infrastructure design criteria
• Compares satellite, UAV, and ground networks, specifies deployment strategies, and applies AI/ML to automate QA/QC and interpretation at scale
• Delivers IAQ engineering guidance, like filtration and air exchange design to smart building telemetry, grounded in material emissions and real-time control
• Details materials and technologies for passive and active mitigation, including photocatalytic coatings, nanomaterials, and green infrastructure performance
• Aligns engineering practice with global policy, addressing design for compliance, evidence-based standards, and governance frameworks that actually reduce exposures

Engineering Air Quality Solutions is perfect for civil, environmental, and transportation engineers, air-quality specialists, urban planners, infrastructure designers, and policy professionals who need technically defensible strategies that link sensing, modeling, and mitigation to measurable health and compliance outcomes. It will also benefit graduate researchers and advanced students seeking a definitive survey of relevant methods and implementations.
