Local Air Pollution Local air pollution is pollution in close proximity to urban centres and industrial installations, usually at a distance of less than fty kilometres. Close to air pollution sources, in and around urban locations and close to industrial installations, there are impacts on human health, crop yield and quality, forest health, man-made materials and monuments, and also on visibility. Regional Air Pollution Gaseous emissions such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are rapidly oxidized to sulfate and nitrate, and ammonia is transformed to ammoniumin the atmosphere. These pollutants can travel over very long distances, transported by the winds over hundreds of kilometres and then deposited by wet deposition in rain, occult (in cloud) deposition and dry deposition to surfaces and may causeimpacts far from the source of pollution. Sulfur and nitrogen deposition may acidify ecosystems and nitrogen may be responsible for eutrophication(over-fertilization) of terrestrial ecosystems. 2. The Regional Status of Air Pollution Driving Forces
The Status of Air Pollution Policy in Different Regions of the Globe In South-East Asia the issue of transboundary pollution was rst highlighted in the 1990 Kuala Lumpur Accord on Environment and Development. The 1992 Singapore Summit identied it as among the major environmental concerns of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN). In 1995 the ASEAN Co-operation Plan onTransboundary Pollution was adopted. The ASEAN Co-operative Plan on Transboundary Pollution consists of three programme areas, namely: transboundary atmospheric pollution; transboundary movement of hazardous waste; and transboundary shipborne pollution. The programme area on transboundary atmospheric pollution has been set up: to assess the origin and cause, nature and extent of local and regional haze incidents; to prevent and control the sources of haze at both national and regional levels by applying environmentally sound technologies and by strengthening both national and regional capabilities in the assessment, mitigation and management of haze; to develop and implement national and regional emergency response plans. Conclusion As urban centres continue their rapid growth in developing countries, air pollution problems are likely to increase in their frequency and severity. The initiatives being taken in megacities in certain of these countries to begin to deal with air quality problems, by regulation, structural change and the search for a more sustainable system, will act as lessons and, where successful, models for more widespread action. Progress is slow but the wealth of experience that exists worldwide is an invaluable resource for concerted and dedicated action.
2. Climate Variability and Change: Coupling Athmospheric and Biological Processes in the Ocean
Conclusion Human will be the ultimate receivers of changes in marine ecosystem structure. An obvious direct concern would be the need to re-evaluate the use of our marine resources should climate change and our own activities threaten the supply food.
