Viac o knihe

Describes the impact of emissions from fossil fuel combustion upon the chemical cycles in the atmosphere at both global and local levels. Explains the fundamental chemical and physical features of the different zones of the atmosphere, allowing an appreciation of the nature and scale of pollution problems. Discusses the possible dramatic consequences of the global accumulation of trace species, such as the greenhouse effect and fluxes of solar ultraviolet radiation reaching the lower atmosphere. This edition is revised and reorganized to account for the rapid development of knowledge and research in this field. All new areas of research are covered.
