Aeorosols

Chemistry and Physics of Aeorosols.


Aerosol in a scientific sense, is the name for a colloidal system of a gas (usually: air) with dispersed therein, small solid or liquid particles (suspended solids; aerosol particles) having a size between about 0.5 nm and 100 nm.

Aerosols can be of natural or artificial origin. The artificial species are mostly haze, dust smoke, etc. They may also be air pollutants or work safety relevant emissions. In nature, the natural aerosols and anthropogenic species play a role. These are, for example, object of study of atmospheric chemistry and climate research.

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics: From Air Pollution to Climate Change

The Second Edition of this internationally acclaimed text presents the latest developments in atmospheric science. It continues to be the premier text for both a rigorous and a complete treatment of the chemistry of the atmosphere.

All chapters develop results based on fundamental principles, enabling the reader to build a solid understanding of the science underlying atmospheric processes. Among the new material are three new chapters: Atmospheric Radiation and Photochemistry, General Circulation of the Atmosphere, and Global Cycles. In addition, the chapters Stratospheric Chemistry, Tropospheric Chemistry, and Organic Atmospheric Aerosols have been rewritten to reflect the latest findings.

Readers familiar with the First Edition will discover a text with new structures and new features that greatly aid learning. Many examples are set off in the text to help readers work through the application of concepts. Advanced material has been moved to appendices. Finally, many new problems, coded by degree of difficulty, have been added. A solutions manual is available.

Thoroughly updated and restructured, the Second Edition of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics is an ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a reference for researchers in environmental engineering, meteorology, chemistry, and the atmospheric sciences.
