Atmospheric Chemistry: Fundamentals and Experimental Techniques

This book by B. J. Finlayson‐Pitts and J. N. Pitts appears at a time when atmospheric chemistry has reached a remarkable achievement. This relatively new discipline was given its first impetus in the 1950s, when Haagen‐Smit and his coworkers published their nowclassical papers about the Los Angeles photochemical smog. In less than 3 decades, atmospheric chemistry has matured and is now able to cope with the major challenges of air pollution. It has grown into an elaborate science, covering a broad range of experimental and theoretical approaches.
