Abstract
Investigations into pollutant processes of atmospheric build-up, dry and wet deposition and build-up on urban surfaces require a scientifically robust research program. This chapter primarily discusses strategies adopted for study sites selection, the field sampling program and laboratory testing. Discussion of the sampling program includes sample collection methods for atmospheric pollutant build-up, atmospheric deposition and build-up on road surfaces.
