Finlayson-Pitts, B J; Pitts, Jr, J N

A treatment of the discipline of atmospheric chemistry. Beginning 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. There is detailed analysis of such major societal issues as smog, acid rain, and volatile toxic organics. The seven criteria pollutants considered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to be hazardous are examined. Over 340 illustrations.
