Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics: From Air Pollution to Climate Change

This fully revised and expanded version of John H. Seinfeld's successful Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics of Air Pollution provides a rigorous, comprehensive treatment of the chemistry of the atmosphere. With new chapters on such important topics as cloud physics, nucleation, and wet deposition, this book offers a truly up-to-date examination of atmospheric chemistry today, including:

• Chemistry of the stratosphere and troposphere
• Formation, growth, dynamics, thermodynamics, and properties of aerosols
• Meteorology of air pollution
• Transport, diffusion, and removal of species in the atmosphere
• Formation and chemistry of clouds
• Interaction of atmospheric chemistry and climate
• Radiative and climatic effects of gases and particles
• Formulation of mathematical chemical/transport models of the atmosphere.

Complete with solved examples, problems graded according to difficulty, and hundreds of illustrations, this state-of-the art reference is an ideal resource for both students and professionals in all areas of engineering as well as atmospheric science.
