Campbell, I M

This text describes the impact of the emissions from fossil fuel combustion upon the chemical cycles in the atmosphere at both global and local levels. It explains the fundamental features, both chemical and physical, of the different zones of the atmosphere necessary to an appreciation of the nature and scale of pollution problems. Consequences that may result from the global accumulation of trace species, such as the greenhouse effect and fluxes of solar ultraviolet radiation reaching the lower atmosphere, are covered. It is revised and reorganized since the first edition to account for the rapid pace of advances in this field. All recently-recognized areas of importance are covered.
