Publisher's Synopsis
Offering a rigorous account of all aspects of the physical and chemical behavior of air pollutants, this book furnishes a clear analysis of the chemistry of atmospheric pollutants, an extensive treatment of the formation, thermodynamics and dynamics of atmospheric aerosols and a basic review of atmospheric diffusion with commonly used atmospheric diffusion formulas derived from first principles. It covers atmospheric removal processes, including wet and dry deposition, statistical distributions of atmospheric concentrations and a discussion of acid rain. Included are numerous problems, and all major chapters offer up-to-date bibliographies.
