Pollution damages materials; but it has changed dramatically in the past century; with a reduction in the concentration of corrosive primary pollutants in urban atmospheres. At the same time; architectural styles and types of materials have changed; as we have moved to more organically rich; photochemically active atmospheres. Contemporary pollutants have a greater potential to degrade organic coatings and polymers; which are of great importance to modern structures.Urban Pollution and Changes to Materials and Building Surfaces examines a range of materials; discussing the ways in which they are likely to be damaged by contemporary urban pollutants; with an emphasis on the effects of air pollution. A chapter on graffiti is also included.The wide scope covered means that this volume is suitable for readers from a broad background. It should be of interest to scientists and policymakers dealing with the effects of urban pollution; as well as undergraduate and graduate students working in this area.This book; with its wealth of information; is of exceedingly good value for readers who seek to understand more on the changes of materials and building surfaces by urban pollution.
