Preface
This book is a translation of the French book “Pollution atmosphérique. Des processus à la modélisation”, published by Springer France (2007). The content is mainly derived from a course devoted to air pollution I taught at École nationale des ponts et chaussées (ENPC; one of the foremost French high schools, at ParisTech Institute of Technology and University Paris-Est) during the decade 1997–2006. This book has of course been deeply influenced by my research activity at CEREA, the Teaching and Research Center for Atmospheric Environment, a joint laboratory between ENPC and the Research and Development Division of Electricité de France (EDF R&D), that I created and then headed from 2002 to 2007. I want to thank many of my colleagues for discussions, help and review. Thanks to Vivien Mallet for his careful review, his availability and his pieces of advice (both for the content and the form of this book). Thanks to Marc Bocquet, Karine SarteletKata, Irène Korsakissok for their help in reviewing chapters. I want also to thank a few colleagues for having provided me illustrations from their research work. Thanks to Bastien Albriet, Marc Bocquet, Édouard Debry, Irène Korsakissok, Hossein Malakooti, Denis Quélo, Yelva Roustan, Karine Sartelet, Christian Seigneur and Marilyne Tombette. Thanks also to the American family, Céline and Julien, for their review of the introduction. I want also to thank the Paris air quality monitoring network, Airparif (Stéphanie Fraincart and Philippe Lameloise), Bénédicte Dousset (Geomer Laboratory and University of Hawaii) and Annie Gaudichet (CNRS and Universities Paris-XII and Paris-VII) for having provided me a few images. I want to thank Petra Van Steenbergen (English version and invitation to write a book, following SIAM Geosciences 2005) and Nathalie Huilleret (French version and initial project) for their support.
