A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This book is about the atmosphere and our influence on its composition. The early chapters look at the geochemical, biological and maritime sources of the trace gases and are followed by chapters on the chemistry of atmospheric gases, suspended particles and rainfall. After dealing with the natural atmosphere the book examines the sources of air pollution and its effects: decline in health, damage to plants and animals, and to constructional materials, indoor pollution, acid rain and global changes in carbon dioxide and methane. The final chapters are concerned with the chemistry and pollution of the upper atmosphere and the composition and evolution of the atmospheres of the planets of the solar system.

Revue de presse

'Overall ... an excellent synthesis of the knowledge of atmospheric composition, chemistry, pollution and the impact of human activities. It is well written and gathers all basic knowledge of air composition and chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere into a concise, yet easily paced, textbook. It is excellent for an introductory course for graduate students but is also appropriate for upper-level undergraduate students.' Shao-Meng Li, World Meteorological Organization Bulletin

'An excellent introductory student text that gives the physical and chemical context within which air pollutants have to be considered.' Environmental Pollution

'Well written and presented; it is easily paced, and is one of the most 'readable' textbooks I have come across ... I recommend the book as essential reading to students embarking on a study of atmospheric chemistry or pollution.' Chemistry in Britain

'... this must surely be one of the more useful texts of recent years and is essential reading for anyone interested in the atmosphere.' Journal of Meteorology

'... can be wholeheartedly recommended to everyone interested in the chemical features of our atmosphere. The very reasonable price undoubtedly is a bonus, helping students to aquire their own, personal copy.' G�nter Helas, Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry

'... very well written and truly helps the student of atmospheric chemistry to learn and understand the necessary basics ... if one single book has to be the choice, it should be this one.' J�rg Matschullat, Environmental Geology
