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

The author's objective was to write a text/reference book useful to established researchers and to students interested in the chemistry of the lower atmosphere and the experimental techniques used to study it. The book contains discussions of the fundamentals of kinetics, spectroscopy, and photochemistry that should prove helpful to students; descriptions of many experimental techniques used to study the atmosphere; and a great many rate constants, reaction mechanisms, and other relevant data for organic and inorganic species found in the atmosphere. The authors state in the preface that their efforts do not constitute a comprehensive survey of the literature; still, the volume contains extensive literature references ranging from the earliest in a specific area of mid-1985. All in all, the authors have achieved their objective very well.
