Description
Here is the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of one of the hottest areas of chemical research. The treatment of fundamental
kinetics and photochemistry will be highly useful to chemistry students and their instructors at the graduate level, as well as postdoctoral
fellows entering this new, exciting, and well-funded field with a Ph.D. in a related discipline (e.g., analytical, organic, or physical
chemistry, chemical physics, etc.). Chemistry of the Upper and Lower Atmosphere provides postgraduate researchers and teachers
with a uniquely detailed, comprehensive, and authoritative resource. The text bridges the "gap" between the fundamental chemistry of
the earth's atmosphere and "real world" examples of its application to the development of sound scientific risk assessments and associated
risk management control strategies for both tropospheric and stratospheric pollutants.
Audience
Researchers, professors, and graduate students in chemistry and specifically atmospheric chemistry.
