Stratospheric ozone depletion that has already been realized, increasing levels of oxidant formation throughout the troposphere, and global climate change with a possible warming of the Earth`s surface by {approx}1.5-4.5{degrees}C by the middle of the next century are consequences of changes in the trace composition of the Earth`s atmosphere with well established links to human activity. Measured trends in ozone-depleting chemicals, tropospheric oxidant precursors and radiatively active gases and aerosols will be reviewed in the context of their chemical, physical and photochemical interactions with the atmosphere and climate. Computer model projections of global change will be discussed with the aim of pointing out major uncertainties in our understanding of these phenomena and critical needs for future research.
