Preface
In this book, we aim to put together important topics covering the theoretical aspects
of air pollution modeling and applications. This was possible thanks to the dedication of the researchers who kindly accepted to write chapters for this book. We are
grateful to all of them for helping us to accomplish our objective of publishing this
book. We hope that this book will play an important role in helping researchers and
graduate students with their investigations. We also hope that this book can raise the
interest of people working with the different topics of this research fi eld. Finally, we
would like to express our gratitude to our universities for supporting us in this enterprise and also to the National Council for Scientifi c and Technological Development
(CNPq) for fi nancing part of this work. Furthermore, we would like to express
our special thanks to Professors Sergej S. Zilitinkevich, Alexander Baklanov, and
Sylvain M. Joffre for the generous contribution to write the Foreword of this book.
