Atmospheric chemistry : fundamentals and experimental techniques

This book provides coverage of the discipline of atmospheric chemistry. Starting with the fundamentals of kinetics and photochemistry, it shows how the experimental techniques in these areas are applied to the study and control of chemical reactions in the troposphere. It gives detailed analysis of such major societal issues as smog, acid rain and volatile toxic organics. It also treats the seven criteria pollutants considered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to be hazardous, as well as a variety of trace noncriteria pollutants, such as those cited in the Clean Air Act of 1977.
