Air pollution affects populations throughout the world, having a significant impact on public health. An important source of these pollutants is the motor vehicle. In our attempt to address some of the issues within the field in this volume, it is clear that there is sufficient material to fill many volumes. In this context, we decided to address a number of issues which have either been neglected or which pose important critical questions. We begin with the role of the nose of modulating or initiating responses to air pollutants, move through the epidemiological and experimental evidence that cardiac function is disturbed by pollution, and then address the question of point sources as opposed to area sources when trying to apportion exposure sources with respect to specific health effects. New work on the structure of particles and their toxicology then leads to a chapter addressing how best we might determine particle toxicity in the future. This is of particular relevance at present in view of the increasing concerns regarding manufactured nanomaterials. The volume concludes with a new approach to an assessment of the health impacts of air pollution — an area where pohcy developers keenly feel the need, when determining how best to address air pollution control. We hope that you will find some of these areas useful.
