This state-of-the-art book is a comprehensive treatment of atmospheric chemistry, including the application
of measurements, mechanisms, and models to systems ranging from natural to highly polluted urban areas. Fundamentals
are presented in a manner valuable not only to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and atmospheric chemists,
but also to scientists and engineers in related areas. The current state of knowledge in this exciting and dynamic
area is examined in depth, with emphasis on the chemical and physical interactions between the troposphere and
the stratosphere. Chemistry of the Upper and Lower Atmosphere concludes by drawing on material in the 15 previous
chapters to explore its application to the development of reliable risk assessments and effective control strategies
for ozone, acids, particles, and airborne toxic chemicals.
