Fundamentals of Atmospheric Aerosol Chemistry - Hardcover

Gives a short and coherent presentation of the chemical composition of aerosol particles contributing to detrimental atmospheric and environmental conditions. After review of physical properties and measuring procedures, the formation of aerosol particles in the atmosphere determining aerosol composition is summarized. Present knowledge of particle composition is discussed, and the impact of aerosol particles on cloud formation, visibility degradation, climate variations, and ozone depletion is described. For graduate students and researchers in environmental science. The author is affiliated with the University of VeszprTm. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation c.
